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

I haven't logged my readings on here for a few days as I didn't want to see them in black and white - too disheartening. Having managed to reduce my fasting readings from 11+ to low 7s and even 6 once, they are back up in the 8s.
8.8 today.

However, I have now spotted the batch 44 conundrum, and that is what I started using last week. So I have no idea what my reading should be.
 

It's interesting certainly, and they have obviously eliminated one set of variables which is how carefully we sample our own blood and how our own BG might vary in a short timescale and between (say) one finger and another. It would be instructive to see the same tests repeated with different batches of strips though!
 
5.0 this morning. Lazy day today baked a bread, and made a steamed apple pudding..............will I enjoy eating ? .....what do you all think
 
 
What a good idea

Ooh what bread did you make? I made some Swedish breakfast rolls today, um they didn't' quite look like the nice bread roll on the picture, more of a splat really.............

Splat bread .... sounds good
 
Have been reading a lot about the batch 44 strips. Is this the end of the lot number. If so think I have a pot of those. My lot number is S0314144. I've ordered another pot
 
Yes, that is the batch number, and it is 44.
Ah that could explain some of the readings I've been getting. It was 7.3 after breakfast this morning which consisted of bacon, egg, tomato and mushrooms. Not been that high before after that particular breakfast.im usually between mid 4s and mid 6s with the odd exception when I have eaten carbs.
 
Yup, porridge did that to me too :-(
Only 7.1 for about an hour so I'm not too concerned.
If I'd had the coconut oil to add it wouldn't have gone above 6.5 and that's with a table spoon of that half sugar on it.
