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

Thanks again, ickihun. Finished antibiotics and had another chest x-ray. Still unwell so seeing GP again today. Haven't been testing since 9.2 fbs last week.
 
6.1 at 7:20 this morning.

I'm quite pleased by that. It's usually around 6.3 but the other day it was up to 7. I've kind of taken my foot off the gas during the last week (not ridiculously but I've certainly had things I shouldn't have.). My weight is still coming down though so I reckon I'm still on the mend as it were.
Ever onwards!
 
9.6 this morning. I suppose that is what happens when I eat grapes and am on very low medication. Time for a bit of a walk - actually feel like walking for the first time in some months. Think infection is in retreat

Let me know what gp says.
Keep testing if you can (strips permitting). Ask for strips if you feel will help reduce bgs and inflammation. GP should help in such cases if not already allowed strips on prescription. GP may change your diabetes meds til infection gone, if still hanging around. 9s won't make you feel well even if infection has gone.
Getting good diabetes control will help any other fight your body may have. I hope your feeling better soon.

Hopefully an improve will be noticable soon.
Try protein bread but only 2 slices maximum.
 
4.8 at 5:30 am, that's the second day I have hit the fasting 4.0 mark I wonder why I have gone this low.

I got my blood test results from Thursday back yesterday, all good, I stay on five Digoxin as usual, and LFT shows I have been kind to my liver by cutting back on the beer.
