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

Avocado Sevenfold said:

Thank you. I don't post here often as I find my dawn phenomenon demoralising. Have been taking milk thistle before bed to see if it helps. Not sure yet if it does.

3.9 for me this morning.

My major problem at the moment is I haven't a clue what day of the week it is! Every day feels like a Sunday, so I'll probably be better when Sunday is actually here.

Hey ho. If that's the worst of my problems, it surely signals life could be a lot worse on Planet Breathe.

6.6 at 1 hour post dinner.

Can;t say I'm crazy about that and would prefer a little lower.

@Sable_Jan to me it would only be useful if the solution was specified as having an equivalent BG of (say) 6.2 mmol/l, then you could routinely check your meter for accuracy and drift. But they say they can't manufacture such a solution and guarantee its consistency when packaged into very small bottles. I can understand why the meter accuracy is limited though, it works by reaction between your blood and some enzymes embedded in the sample slot on the strip and the electronic manifestation of that reaction. From that point of view I think we should be grateful that we have something as cheap as it is that is capable of getting within 10% most of the time.

Anyway, 5.4 here this morning, happy with that.

Hi All
First of all happy new year to everyone on the forum, looking forward to 2015
I havent been here for quite some time, was not feeling absolutely great and was extremely busy with work.
As far as readings go I dont know whats gone wrong with them
I only get two or three readings no matter what time I test
6.0 6.1 or 6.2
just saw one 5.7 in all these days in last 10 15 days
have changed nothing in my diet at all, i did not even relax my carb intake on christmas or new year, it was the same of about 20 to 30g
I still feel something is not right with my machine may be as such a constant 6 is not looking nice no matter how much carbs i eat or avoid it just stays there
Any suggestions please

Pretty much the same as this one http://www.bdws.co.uk/2011/09/11/homemade-liver-cake-recipe-worlds-greates/.... although I do add a level teaspoon of garlic powder.

Thanks for the suggestions
I will try coke tonight and see what happens but is diet coke ok as I dont keep normal sugary one's at home anymore, although I think i might have a lucozade which might have even expired by now if it does expires as I used to get them but never had them even when I was not diabetic
How can I be reversed at such high constant level, is it possible?
