5.6 at 7 am. 5.7 at 11.30 pm last night. Injected 5 units of levemir.

Looking back I've not had a morning reading over 5.9 for over two weeks now.

A surprising 4.7. That will be the red wine last night.

I agree Janet. I find just a glass of red wine at dinner time always help with lower fbs.

I tested this morning with my right index finger and it read 4.9. Retested on left index finger and it gave me 5.7. What a huge difference.

Do you find that 2 glasses has double the effect?

Not bad but 5.9 would be better ...

Ordonkartt, I am not sure if it does. Have you tried it?

I love a glass or two or more sometimes. It really messes with my blood sugar controls .

Hi @Trickyswife

You might find this helpful https://www.diabetes.co.uk/diabetes_care/blood-sugar-level-ranges.html

If you’re just starting out, you’ll probably find that your morning reading is the last one to come down. The rises 2 hours after eating are the most important readings to focus on.

Good morning. 4.8 today.
