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

Morning all

5.5 for me this morning which I am happy with.

Actually saw a 4.9 before evening meal last night, haven't seen many of them TBH but I cling to the belief things are going the right way.

And that's why I test, albeit just twice a day usually, unless I've been experimenting....
 
Apologises been a little lax in posting recently but still testing, fasting for last week have all been between 4.7 & 5.5, so happy enough with that.

Will get back into routine for posting each day, just that it's been a little hectic with one thing and another.

Hope everyone is doing well in their own way.

Missed you
 
Since my readings came back to normal:-) I experimented a bit, again...
After a pre-prandial reading of 5.1 I had a bit of an exagerated lunch as follows:
- 1 1/4 can of Heinz BB
- handful of bacon rashers
- 1 slice of tapioca bread toast, butter
- handful of grated emental cheese
Post-prandial reading 7.0
Oops:-o
There was no RH swing, no headaches, just a bit of feeling full.
Conclusion: BS should remain under 7, which I'd prefer, if I either wash the BB of sweet sauce, OR I skip bread;-)
Take care:-D

Hi Lou, I've recently seen a docum about the real sugar content of these low sugar/salt BBs, and it turned out in most cases, the levels were higher than the normal products:-(
 
4.8 yesterday morning and, after an unusually carby day that started with a bacon and egg bap, a burger and half portion of chips in the middle and finished with a carvery meal with rhubarb and apple crumble for pud a 5.7 this morning after a 7.0 last night - could have been worse me thinks!!
