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

7.8 at 7.15 am. Bedtime reading was 5.6 at 10.40 pm.

Fourth day in a row I've been over 7 - 7.8 on Monday, 7.6 on Tuesday and 8.5 yesterday but none of the bedtime readings from the previous day were higher than 6.2.

Had three rough nights as well - waking up between 3 and 4 and not being able to get back to sleep.

Daytime readings are OK - nothing higher than 6.8 even after eating.

Bloomin liver dumps (assuming that's what it is)
 

Grant1969, as far as I know with my limited knowledge, our heart rate, blood sugar and blood pressure go up during eating or any kind of activities. It returns to normal after a while..
 
Thanks, the nurses advice was to eat something else...I feel a fool and he aint pleased.
 
Good morning everyone. 7.1 at 0630hrs but had been expecting a MUCH higher reading today. Was invited to a neighbour’s birthday meal - tapas, then veal strips in creamy mushroom sauce with Spätzli (NOT diabetes-friendly) and vermicelles (creamed chestnuts, with ice cream, whipped cream & meringue). A typical Swiss autumn menu. I did go easy on the wine (and limited myself to 1 Campari Orange as Apero).

This Diabetes is a strange animal.
I went to visit a good friend yesterday evening. Having gone straight from work, I was at hers at dinner time, and hungry.
I had a vegetarian curry, I picked out the visible potatoes, then proceeded to have a bowl of vegetable soup, which had sweet potatoes and butternut squash in it, which I picked out, but added some smoked salmon.
I expected all those starchy root veg, to have leached into the dish during cooking.
I'm pleasantly surprised to wake up to this BG reading today.
 
takes me back to a meal i had in Immenstadt allgau .. over the hills from you thirty odd years ago,,, spatzle and wild mushroom sauce ahh memories
