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

good morning all

3.6 this morning
so I had an oatcake and butter just in case
4.3 now.
Your post reminds me of my dilemma. I frequently use 2 BG meters (I am anal haha)
One of them has me frequently in 3.6 - 3.9 territory while the other reads at least 1 point more.
I decided to rely on the higher reading that gives 1 point more.
Today I tested my ketones and it was 5.1.
Though I am Type 2 and don't think I could be risking Ketoacidosis, I am beginning to wonder if the low reading one could be more accurate after all.
Roll on Feb for my next HbA1c...Then I'll know which one to ditch.
