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

Sometimes I wonder if the Meter Co's put rogue strips in on purpose just to make you use more.

Meter said 6.9 this morning, wasn't going to bother to retest as I knew it was wrong, but then couldn't stop myself wasting a strip, and got the expected result of 5.0, then of course I had to check that the retest was correct and got 4.9

So 3 strips used to get the same result I get most days.

I need to do the Lottery this weekend
 
7.6 this morning, but my chest is shredded from coughing and I woke up with the temperature of 39 degrees. The calming syrup contains sugar and glucose, but I need it at the moment...

Call your doctors they can prescribe a sugar free cough syrup. It works. Get well soon. You don't have to suffer the sugar hun.
 
Morning everyone 8.4 @8.20am. Another 2lb off the weight this week. Slow and sensible, Id like to think my skin has a chance to retain its elasticity.

Back up to 6.7 this morning - ah well at least it's better than the 7s and 8s I got when I was first diagnosed!
