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

5.1 today at the first check the second check was 5.3 on a different finger WOW never been that low before
 
One question, what unit are people reporting these numbers

I realised that I have been writing my mmol/l readings. So just want to confirm what units are being used.
 
5.9 this morning at 5am
6.0 at 10am

The culprit is a meal out last night. Tapas but not carb free obviously. And it included a dish of nachos with chilli beef cheese and jalapenos. The 3 large glasses of red might not have helped. One yes but not 3!!!I'm sure the nachos are the culprit though ad I did polish off almost the whole dish on my own! I was feeling quite hungry. Will have a very low carb day today just trying to get myself out of bed (it was a late night) with a promise of eggs and bacon which I'm making for myself. It's at times like these that I could do with a live in chef!!!

Update: It's 7.3 just before my eggs n bacon at midday!!! I know both the excess wine and nachos are to blame. Steak for me next meal out....and iced water!!!
