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

Paule Foster said:
5.4 this morning but quickly rose to 6.6 by the time I’d got downstairs-fed the beasts(cats not children ) & boiled the kettle. How come it rises so quickly just with liver release -I didn’t eat anything got another hour

Mine does the same I put it down to the fact that I probably have a shed load of stored glucose that my liver kindly releases for me :rolleyes:

Most of us here check our FBG numbers as soon as we get out of bed, because BG levels rise once we start to move around. That's normal and a modest rise is to be expected.

Are you doing everything you can to keep carb intake low ... ish during the day? Given time and a consistently LCHF lifestyle, your FBG readings should gradually fall further, so the morning rise begins from a lower starting point and is less noticeable.

Yes I understand this I was replying to a poster that remarked that their bg continues to rise. I always test as soon as I get up but if I test again before eating ( maybe an hour or so later ) my BG will have risen .I do get lower numbers when I stick to low carb.
