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

[Ally Pally]

As feared, following yesterday’s tennis ‘nibble’ binge, I was 7.8 at 0525hrs. Glad Wimbledon is over for another year.

Back now and dreading my office email inbox this morning

Morning...12.9....a little better than the other day

 

[joeynomates1969]

Did you wash your hands and test again to be sure it wasn’t a dodgy reading?

Yes. Not sure if splitting the lantus dose has something to do with it .

Good morning 5.7

 

[JanetMcDowell]

6.3. Was very hungry last pm and had a snack.

Yes...not sure if splitting the lantus dose would have affected it??

[Freema]

6.3 at 8:00 hmmmfp it was 5.4 right before I went to sleep , and I only did eat 22 grams of carbs yesterday...

 

[Terrytiddy]

Morning all 3.6 for me this morning Have a good day everyone

 

[ianpspurs]

5.0 for me today. @Goonergal back with stellar results; @ally1 nice 8 again; @geefull as usual better control than mbappe. Exactly 3 years ago my fbg was 4.6 after 1 week on this diet so slippage has befallen. Talking of which, one wonders what dainty snackage a fair lady such as @JanetMcDowell could have ingested to cause such spikeage

 

[James13]

5.9 this morning.

 

[bigjim19]

6.5 today to many sixes lately

 

[jayney27]

Morning everyone
6.2 this morning at 6.30am and only risen to 6.4 just now so hopefully at the start of returning to lower numbers.

Well... my Silly o'clock (05.30) reading was 7.0! (I don't understand as I didn't eat anything out of the ordinary yesterday). Then my 09.57 reading when I woke up properly was 5.5.
Just a thought, but does anyone know if leaving a strip not quite in the SD Codefree, ready to be pushed in & the lancet primed would have a detrimental effect on the numbers??? (Me trying to be organized & ready for the test!)

Sd Code Free test strips are supposed to be used within three minutes of removal from the tub, so in answer to your question your silly o’clock readings can’t be relied on if the strip has been out of the tub for longer. Have a look here, at page 29:
