Mine was 8.5 before Insulin, meds or breakfast.

Hi @Tom Green. If I was on Insulin or a Sulphonylurea, I wouldn't be happy with a BG below 4.0 at bedtime, & would eat accordingly. I am able to effectively manage my blood glucose & as such, know what my safe range is. I completely understand your comment though, as the majority of HCP's advocate a specific BG range. I am experienced enough to be able to operate outside of that range, & have the full support of my DNS. No need to be concerned. Best wishes.

I have just checked mine before bed and it is 4.2. - So I am going to have a cheese + lettuce sandwich and go to bed (midnight).

I agree, @Alisonjane10. I occasionally experience readings in the high 3's at bedtime and, since I take no extraneous insulin, they don't concern me at all.

This morning's fasting was 4.3, following a 4.4 bedtime reading.
