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

britishpub · Jul 16, 2015

6.4 this morning, after a 5.1 at bedtime.

Starting to think this early morning test is a bit of a waste of time, as I know when I test in a couple of hours it will be 5 something.

4.8 this cloudy morning

5.3 fasting

A nice low 4.8 for me after a particularly intense game of five a side last night

8.3 !!!!! Full blown head ache not good

The like was NOT for the head ache

JohnD54 · Jul 16, 2015

5.5 which is surprising after a pig out on nuts late yesterday evening.

Suns shining, weekend approaching, have a good day all.,

Thanks for the comprehensive answer, it made me very hungry and in a wagon falling way.

Morning lovely people. An ok 5.4 today. Not bad considering my hubby made Key Lime pie from scratch yesterday & I couldn't resist a slice after dinner. Oh goodness....it was better than a kiss from George Clooney!

Ok @Baruney....the following are especially for @Larissima, who is experiencing brain fog when it comes to testing. These ones made me smile. X

Morning all 5.2 this morning

Baruney · Jul 16, 2015

Morning troops

6.0 fasting.

Bloods, energy levels, discipline, weight, will to live all heading in the wrong direction and that's only after day 2 in CockneyLand.

No one to blame but myself but plan was work, run, be good. Reality of the situation was work, work, carb load! I'm 20 miles down on run schedule and with countless coffee shops, kebab houses, tescos and sainsburys all within a 3 minute stroll my planned meals are still in the fridge and there is no where left to hide any incriminating evidence!

I don't know if anyone watched Bear Grills - the Island which asked the question can modern man (and later woman) survive on an island without modern comforts. I would like to see the reverse. The Cockneys. Take some sane, healthy, blood sugars controlled, non stressed and polite people from an island and dump them in central london!

BTW - I've patented that.

LOL! Thanks for these, @Alisonjane10! I have to admit, I once found the TV remote in the fridge...

This morning, though, what brain fog? FBG of 5.6.

Quite a fan of peach/nectarine... though only manage a half at a time... share with the other half with Mrs Hj

Really love them, but the spike effect lasts through next day:-(

End of term now within sniffing distance ....

Reminds me of me before I took early retirement, but we used to measure it in 'get ups' left!

Munkki · Jul 16, 2015

Morning. I had 4.6 before breakfast and then 6.5

Gezzabelle · Jul 16, 2015

Late on parade with an acceptable 5.1 this morning

Alisonjane10 · Jul 16, 2015

Hello folks,

I don't function very well if my BG drops to below 4.5. I function better around 5 to 5.5. Had a stinking headache & checked my levels...meter read 4.2. I'm not a snacker. But I reckon I need something between meals to stop BG dropping to painful levels for me. Any ideas of what could help would be appreciated. Btw, I'm not a lover of nuts, eggs, most meat & Greek yoghurt.

I'm adding the following just because I LOVE seniors....they're all, by definition, slightly bonkers, which makes me laugh. My Ma still drives everyday at the age of 83. She was mortified when she got a speeding fine through the post last week. Lmao. X
