What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

This morning and indeed most mornings it averages 8.8......Im 77 and had Diabetes type 2
for 37 years.....just been taken off Metformin and now on Repaglinida 2mg with meals (3 a a day)
which controls fine during the day. Diabetic Clinic seem quite happy with this situation.
I live in Spain now but my English Doctor told me when I was first diagnosed that as long as the readings
stayed under 10 then it was OK......Dont drink or smoke or take sugar with anything but I am also taking
medication for "lazy kidneys" and having monthly maintenance chemo for Bladder Cancer.
As long as the Doctor and the Nurse are happy with things at the moment ...so am I.
Keep Smiling....there's a lot worse off than me.
