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

Status
Not open for further replies.
5.5 this morning - pleased as had main meal at 4pm before my 2nd 5-10 pm shift last night, I tested when I got in at 10.30pm and was 5.9, but had just walked home. I had a cold black farmers and a square of cheese before bed.
Second night at the centre was good, I was supposed to be shadowing a case worker again Monday but the centre manager popped in and told me due to such good feedback from my first night to scrap Monday and from my next shift Wednesday I will be on duty case worker! How did that happen?!
Had a pool competition with the residents last night, I lost but it was fun to interact with the guys!

"meths week" lol, some kind of substance abuse issue going on here ? lol Or is it those hyperglycaemic meter melting readings making you delirious ? rofl
 
5.2 this morning up really late but loving my new lower fasting readings. Not sure what I have done to achieve this, but hoping they remain as they set me up for a good day. Just had my breakfast at lunchtime, so I'm behind on all my chores now. Will go and get dressed shortly and start my day.... Hope you all have a good one
 
5.2 is a good reading Kezzer, keep up the good work !
 
Well done Kim and that's you off meds, wow, pat on back !
 
I refer back to this table quite often but not sure how preprandial at breakfast / fasting fits together. I've never seen a fasting guide to what ideal bs levels should be. Does anyone know if there's a specific figure given anywhere

Fasting is the same as pre-prandial generally speaking.
 
@AndBreathe I am just mucking about a bit at the moment...but behind it I am deadly seriously about where I want to remain and where I want to get to...all advice accepted in the spirit in which is intended and helps me to make better informed decisions...Didn't check after dinner to be honest. The slice of cake was with a cup of lemon and cinnamon tea at about 11.00.pm When I checked at a little after midnight before sleep it was 5.6. Back to 5.2 this morning after my scrambled egg, slice of toasted Burgen, and half a tin of tomatoes.
 
I hasten to add before my food I had been to the gym where I did a 1 mile jog non stop at 5 mph, 5 miles on the bike at 95rpm level 2 and 500 metres on the rowing machine which took me 3 and half minutes and a 30 minute stretching session on my hard foam roller...
 
We are in a veritable pit of naughtiness YES!
 
Ok, I admit, I was NAUGHTY too - had 2 shortbread biscuits post lunch - I had planned on one only but they were the last two in the tin from Xmas and I didn't want to leave that last one lonely......

Thank you @beatdise I'd love to take credit for the good figures but I was lucky being diagnosed early enough to have only just gone into prediabetic range last year because of my high BP. I have worked at getting back to normal range but lucky that my body seems to be bouncing back without too much damage with only having had higher bs levels for a short while..... Still astounded at your great results - I was floating for days when I got my HbA1c back as 39 so you must still be on cloud 9......
 
You are a dynamo - a very caring one... It might take a while to balance a new pattern in your life, might it? Your routine will be all over the place...
