pre-diabetes, fasting blood sugars.

[Prem51]

@Tracy27 Morning fasting blood glucose levels are often higher due to 'Dawn Phenomenon' where your liver dumps glucose into your blood stream as you wake to get you going. Non-diabetics get it too.
6.5 is fine, anything between 4-7 is ok.

Ugh, 7.0 this am, where did that come from? Seems my liver has a life of it's own.. I wish I could crack that party!

 

[Rustytypin]

[PreDiet]

6.5 this morning 4.6 this afternoon recently got an Hba1C of 34mmol should I ignore these possibly 'dawn Phenomenon' readings?

 

[Rustytypin]

5.8 this am, second under six this week! 4.8 late afternoon. Hope is on the horizon!
@PreDiet don't worry too much about the morning readings, hopefully they will come down eventually, mine are taking seemingly forever to stay under the magic six.

 

[Pasha]

108 mg/dl or 6 m moles/liter.

 

[Rustytypin]

Back in the sixes today, 6.6

107 mg/dl this morning.

 

[Pasha]

[Pasha]

4.7 this am, wow! No hang on, that cannot be right. Quick retest, normal (for me) 6.1! I think the cause for the low one was a very small blood sample. Although the meter accepted the blood, I have noticed in the past lower readings from small samples. Not exactly a fault of the meter, but one to watch!
