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

@El1983 hello there and welcome I notice it's your first post so I'll tag @daisy1 and she will provide the helpful information for new members.

Yes, it's a good idea to wash off anything that could influence the reading.

and a good and sunny morning to everyone
4.2 for me today

pretty pleased with that after I had to eat a bit of birthday cake yesterday, I managed to avoid the fondant icing and went for a walk afterwards.

Sometimes I just use a babywipe. When no sugar or carbs around I have more confidence.
Still just wash everytime, it's good practice.

Readings today were morning 9.1(late night snacking) plus morning GL dump; pre lunch 7.4; pre tea only 4.7 and just now before bed 5.8. This is a usual day for me except the morning reading is normally around 7 and Lunch around 5-6. Still experimenting a bit with what to eat and how much but no bread, pasta, rice or pastries / cakes. I could never give up my Yorkshire puddings on a Sunday though. LoL!
