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

Chris Thailand said:
In the low 4s all last week but up to 5 this morning after a weekend away at the beach. Did have an episode last week that after a 4.2 morning reading and a breakfast of eggs I experienced an extreme instance of giddy, uncontrollable spinning head and sweating that sat me straight down on my bottom holding onto the floor in case I fell off! I'm on two 500 metformin a day. This has scared me a little about driving as it just came on with no warning and there was little I could do about it. 10 minutes later it passed and I got up and carried on at my job. Any ideas?

In the UK you are not supposed to drive if you are below 5, so maybe you need to get your BG levels up a bit. At least before driving anyway.
 
5.3 :( Woke with my leg in a knot, Its been a long time since that happened.
 
Thanks to Alzebra, Ickihun and Prem for commenting. I'm on blood pressure meds and they seem to hold me at a normal reading- blopress 8mg and concor 2.5mg.
I also take amlodipine 10mg, bestatin 20mg and an 81 aspirin.
Sometimes I rattle
 
Morning All

Somewhat surprising 4.6 for me this morning, since I treated myself to 2 squares of dark chocolate with my last pint last night :):)
 
Sad 7.8 fbg in the morning. Had a wonderful night with my old friends. Bit of chinese fried rice and other stuff. Probably I will have better control when I am back in UK.
 
Good morning, woke up early and it was 7.1.

After another hour and half in bed it was 7.6! Anyway it is a nice sunny day and I am about to go for an hour's brisk walk as I am not working today so it will be back to normal soon. Will be skipping breakfast with bacon and eggs on my return;)
