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

Status
Not open for further replies.
6.3 mmol / L this morning.
4.4 mmol / L at bed time.

Didn't sleep that well and morning test was late so, more than likely while cresting the wave of my dawn phenomenon.

5.5 fasting on a bright sunny day down here in saga central. Thursday's gone so safe to go to Aldi again.

Hba1c results back from the dn. 34 on the upside. Test strips stopped for t2 across the board at our surgery on the downside. She's decent enough for a dn. hands are tied blah blah, but will supply name of person who can authorise reversal of decision. I buy the majority of my own strips and have had a tub every other month. So coming up to a years diagnosis that's 6 tubs at £10 a tub of which I pay £8 making that a princely sum of £12.

Anyhow I know the nhs must look to cut costs but it's not about costs per se it's about the various (compartmentalised) budgets.

Work to do on weight and protein in the urine everything else normal.

Much work on the weight?
Good stuff with the 34.

Great HbA1c results!
 
Good morning all :)

So I felt a bit low last night and broke my ND by having Fish, Chips and Peas for a late dinner. Regretting it now as I was 6.1 this morning. Time to pick myself up and get back on with it.

6 x 8 = 12? Or am I missing somethingf? :) I was never offered a meter or strips. Great HbA1c :D

Surely the point of morning fasting tests is to measure and dawn effect? Improving one's insulin sensitivity should hopefully suppress a morning BG spike? Maybe I am misinterpreting but you seem to be explaining that your reading should be lower because you tested at the wrong time (at the peak of a morning dawn effect spike)?
 
A rubbish fasting 7.7 but better than yesterday's 9.1. Possible reasons but not excuses: very late meal last night, still on the antibiotics which have upset my digestion a little plus a busy week so little opportunity for exercise - already been out first thing this morning and recorded more steps and calories burned than the whole of yesterday. Am back to monitoring everything I eat as well. Two eggs and nothing else for breakfast...

Timewise you beat me easily, there is a two hour difference between us. 4.7 mmoles/l equals 84.6 mg/dl and according to the experts thats considered excellent. You started the day in great style, may the rest of the day also be great for you.
