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

Hi all from Exeter Devon, sun can't make its mind up if it coming out to play today.
Fasting reading this morning @ 07:15 was 5.6, could do better but went to another birthday party yesterday so a few glasses of red wine along with the food and a small portion of cake. Very naughty weekend with two parties, but had to be done.

Morning everyone!
FBG 5.8 which is fairly good after a chaotic episode of RH yesterday, caused by Genius' gluten-free crumpets. They are mainly made of rice flour and potatoe starch, and caused a horrendous swing of blood sugar levels.
But at least it gave me the chance to have a look at Reactive Hypo data, just to realise that I might have carried it with me for long, way before my diabetes.
A BIG THANK YOU to all of you who have quickly pointed out your suspicion about RH, of which I have never heard before, but seems to have made my life a living hell.
Have a great day

5.6 which makes an interesting change from 5.5 (I was thinking my meter was stuck)

Good morning all on a very sunny day in nottingham, 6.8 this morning

6.7 this morning at 7:30 am. Last night before bed it was 5.7, and I did 20 minutes on the bike after dinner - maybe evening exercise stimulates the liver dump... I should probably take up wine at bedtime!

5.1 this am. 6.1 last night - made veg soup. Back from a weekend bike trip - only 750 miles this time but food planning went a bit haywire. I find that trying to rely on what's on offer (a selection of fillings in some form of liquid bread) is not to be trusted so carry a small box of seeds and nuts might get some biltong or some such as well.

Morning all 5.4 this morn pain free night but woke up with a biggy.

Liked for the FBG definitely not the pain. Feel for you @oldman1954 - hope it passes swiftly!

 

[emptyplate]

7.3 mmol / L this morning
5.5 mmol / L at bed time

Nearly 8 hours sleep - an unheard rarity for me! Suspect morning reading is attributable to my dawn phenomenon.

Happy Monday all.

Have you considered investing in the Freestyle Libre for a few weeks to monitor your overnight blood activity?

I wanted to understand mine, and the data recorded has been very enlightening.
