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

4.0 this morning.
I'm noticing a pattern - if I have a few slurps of red wine in an evening I have lower BG in the morning. Sounds like a good excuse to me!
 
Morning all
No stress or rushing around today, slept in and woke to a fbg of 6.4 .... happy with that
 
Normally my fasting BG is between 7.0 and 6.0 mmol/L in the morning. HBA1C steadily going down and 38 mmol/mol or 5.6% 19 August 15.
But the meter reading is +- 10%. So a 6.0 is somewhere between 6.6 and 5.4, - which is Ok.
 

BG was 4.6 fasting and a 5.1 before bed. Have a good day folks.

4.6 this wet, sunny, cold and/or windy morning (just) - may make it's mind up by the end of the day!!
 
Arvo troops

7.3 this morning. Carb blowout before a fat fast with the usual suspects next week.
 
7.8 at 7.30 a.m. - caught the little b******d again

You're obviously frustrated & upset with your postprandial BG levels. What you're perhaps not doing is looking at your starting BG, then testing again to see if what you've eaten hasn't pushed you above a 2.0 BG rise. You're stressing yourself out by testing so frequently. Stress in itself raises BG. What are you trying to achieve by testing every 30 minutes or so in the morning? Give yourself a break hun.
 

Hmm - I guess I am a little frustrated. I had eaten nothing - that's what's frustrating. I was hoping I was levelling out. I don't test like that every day - just now and then to see what's going on.
 
Good evening all. A VERY late posting today but I was up and out with the lark for a whole day Sashiko quilting workshop. I had a fasting reading this morning of 5.2 after a reading of 5.5 at bedtime last night. These figures also prove I'm not taking sneaky peeks at britishpub's meter!
 


Thanks. This is a 'what was your fasting blood glucose in the morning'? My fasting blood sugar in the morning was 6.1 rising to 7.9. I din't skip any meals. This was pre breakfast. That what happens to me every morning - that's my big problem (hence the monica.
 

Oh deary me! Obviously I misunderstood your post about "eating nothing." My mistake. I shall chastise myself.
