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

An awful 7.0 (for me anyway) following a late dinner at the parents (steak and kidney pie - from scratch no less! and 4 small potatoes). Plus no exercise on Sunday and about 5 hours sleep). Bah humbug! Must do better today.
 
5.8 this morning. Fyi, I won't be posting my numbers for a little while because I am going to be away on vacation for three weeks and start once again when I return.
 
As I keep saying - faulty strip etc - Relax!
I tested twice to reconfirm. I agree the reading was below recommended levels
However it was significantly higher than my FBG readings over the last few weeks.

Fasting today so will see where that gets me.....
 
Morning FBG 6.8

@jonbvn sometimes our readings vary and it has nothing to do with faulty strips, theres always a chance of variance with meters but if you start down the path of blaming readings on faulty strips you are just.messing with your own mind.
