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

[debrasue]

5.6 today

 

[callyandy]

7.3 don't know if this is good or not?

Diagnosed
Nov 2016 HbA1c 63
Feb 2017 HbA1c 52

&.3 not horrendous, I'm told we should aim to get between 5 and 7 As a blood glucose fasting reading (first thing in the morning before food and activity). Well done in lowering you HbA1c, you're obviously doing something right. Welcome, keep reading and asking questions. There are some very clever friendly peeps around

[debrasue]

good morning everyone
4.5 for me today
that's a bit of a relief after eating such a lot yesterday, Mr. G and I were invited to a Sunday lunchtime 'do' because I'd put in 20 years at the company I retired from last year, so I gussied myself up a bit and away we went.

Yesterday's fbg was 5.0 so perhaps stressing about going to the meal was worse than the meal! Diabetes is a weird disease sometimes

Congratulations on your 20 years!

9.5 this morning. I feel crushed...

Sad for you, it's come back again, you'll see...

Good Morning! 6.0 at 0415 today.

Snap, 6.0. A bit better than the last couple of days. It's amazing what a couple of days at home can do...

Bet I can up you on age!

Same here I'm a stubborn old so and so has well,NHS are not killing me off anytime soon with there oh so wrong diet.
I'm 71 this October quite active and fairly health problem free I intend staying that way,I want to be around to enjoy some time with my lovely hubby who is still working so I need to show the doctors this diet is a life saver for diabetics, not a death sentence one like there's. End of Rant! Have a nice day everyone! K

First 4 point FBG for a few weeks.

6.8 -- I seem to be stuck on 6.8 most every morning.

Hello. Not a bad number to be stuck on.

 

[callyandy]

Good morning all... a surprising 6.0 for me today. Porridge for breakfast yesterday and a good sunday carvery for a late lunch.. cheese and salami on toasted granary at 7pm. My lowest FBG yet.

Sunday suits you.

6.9 for me this morning which is the lowest morning reading I've had since I was diagnosed a week ago. Feeling cruddy though adapting to the metformin.

Welcome to the forum. 6.9 is within range so you are doing well! There is lots of experience on taking metformin on the forum if needed. Many folks find the slow release version better. Hope you don't feel cruddy for too long.
