Type 2's: What was your fasting blood glucose in a morning?

[Susikav]

Doesn't wine suppress blood glucose a little (especially red wine?).

It does, happily...

[Daphne917]

5.5 this morning

 

[Clivethedrive]

3.9 am fasting

 

[Mandingo]

Good morning all. 5.5 this morning. I start work tomorrow.........am I looking forward to it?.....

 

[loulou99782]

6.4 this chilly but sunny morning

 

[Susikav]

Sorry to return to this question again but should we expect a different result testing first thing after waking up in the morning compared to a fasting test a few hours after getting up? I could be wrong but the evidence seems to suggest yes because of the so-called dawn effect or 'liver dump' which affects some people. So in this thread are we looking for figures illustrating the dawn effect or our 'baseline' blood glucose levels after an 8-10 hour fast (therefore not soon after waking)? I generally test half an hour to an hour after getting out of bed for this thread, but not exclusively.

That's a good question.... Should it be as soon as we wake? Every morning I mean to do better, but I always seem to test at a different time...mostly because I have 4 large cats, which live, and are fed, in different parts of the house, a large fish-tank with loads of starving fish in it and a 3-metre tank full of very large and hungry red-eared slider turtles - and one Saudi Arabian illegal immigrant... and four very large catfish... all rescues I will hastily add, I didn't do it on purpose... Oh, and the oldest turtle had three babies hatch too, which increased the numbers overnight rather alarmingly.... I was always led to believe that it's hard to hatch the things without incubators and what-have-you... wrong... all you need it a load of damp sand and some warm weather - searingly hot in fact! And they are all girls bar one little boy... Sorry, off-piste again...

No?

 

[Susikav]

6.6...

....but up at 4.20am and taking anti-bugs and anti-inflammatories... does that make a difference?

 

[PatsyB]

9.7 never been that high in a morning as I can recall ....

 

[JTL]

4.6

 

[Susikav]

9.7 never been that high in a morning as I can recall ....

Awww... maybe you have a cold brewing, or something?

 

[mojo37]

if I didn't post 5.3 (I think) and if I did for repeating myself......[/QUOTE
Its a number well worth repeating Jan

I think when ever i have continued to fast after getting up my BG's have been lowered than my waking fasting test, never since a rise....

 

[mojo37]

Day 51 ND (Thurs) 4.7 overcast today, may rain. Got to get these leaves squared away before it all becomes a slippery mess. Mulch,mulch, mulch.

Sounds more like autumn than spring /summer

 

[hankjam]

And another 4.8 this morning. That's 4 in a row and 5 out of the last 6 days with a reading of 4.8.

I am generally only testing in a morning now as I only tend to eat food that I know won't affect me, but I tested before dinner last night and it was also 4.8! Either my meter's broken or I am keeping pretty consistent

I'm with you there, I'm testing when I wake up, before and after evening meal, which is the only meal that the food varies and it seems settled... at the moment.

 

[hankjam]

after a string of sub 5's went out for a curry last night... so 5.6 this am...
On the bright side it is a lovely morning in East Central Scotland and it's Friday!
Take care pips

[Mrsmac247]

I got 6.6 this morning on my second day of testing better than yesterday but didnt really do much different
