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

A surprisingly high (for me) 7.1 this morning, and it wasn't a bad test as I was up to 7.7 after LCHF brekkie. Could it be due to my bad back/hip/leg as I've been taking ibuprofen for 2 days already?
 
Morning all 5.6 ..just got back from having blood taken for my 3 month review
 
Hello folks. BG a higher than usual 6.5 fasting for me today. Up to 7.0 one hour after breakfast of bacon, egg, mushrooms & wholegrain toast. Heading back down now. Diabetes just reminding me who's boss I suppose. :meh: Guess it's gonna happen. Oh well! Have a lovely Wednesday everyone. X

Bit late, but 6.5 today. Grrrr

Feeling flat today, need to eat a proper meal yet. Not been motivated enough... just grazed on cheese, nuts and some salami out of the fridge.
 
I thought between 5-7 was good?

Hi @Evelynross. Between 5-7 fasting IS good. You might find some forum members are used to having lower numbers now having mostly got on top of their diet etc. So that's probably why some people may put "Grrrr" or a :mad::(:eek::arghh: when posting their FBG. But please don't let other people's results put you off posting your own. It's not a competition. My FBG this morning was 6.5, which is high FOR ME, as I'm normally around 5.0 give or take. That's how this disease is sometimes. For many diabetics, EVERYTHING from stress to hot weather affects blood glucose levels. It can be a right old pain. Hope that gives you an okay explanation. Best wishes. :)
