Type 2s: What was your fasting blood glucose in a morning? (very low chat level)

Had Indian takeaway for dinner and fbs this morning jumped up to 5.8. Guess it was the chicken biriani. It was delicious though.
 
Thanks Keesha! I confess though I got a scary two hour post breakfast reading! Really scary!
 
Interesting @Liam1955 - does this differ if using insulin?

Have been told as above to aim for between 5 and 7 fasting - no suggestions before meals - but under 10 at 2 hours after meals.

Having put on 5kg (from 75 to 80) since starting insulin at end of November - which endo and diabetic nurse seem to feel is quite normal - have been advised by dietician (who like me wasn't impressed!) to try reducing carbs to less than the 10-12 serves a day I'd been told to stick to and try to increase protein .
