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

Afternoon guys
Still on the high side for me this morning
6.4 this morning but to be fair did have a few pints
last night so that won’t help
enjoy the rest of your day before dreaded Monday comes
 
Good morning everyone. Had a very restless night and could not sleep very well. Had been experiencing diarrhoea and wonder if metformin is to be blamed. Been okay with it for a while but seems to be playing up again. Has anyone experience on and off problem with metformin?
 

@DJC3 hug accepted thanks
 

@ianspurs thank you from Ian aka Cumberland
 
5.8 at 08:45 this morning red wine yesterday . Didn’t seem to drop me as low as it normally does . But had a big bowl of meatballs and cheese last night
HbA1c test tomorrow . 1st one since diagnosis in Feb hoping for a good result

Hey Peadair I was also diagnosed in Feb - I’ll keep an eye out for you. Good luck with your hba1c- my first one was a bit early, I was diagnosed at 78 and I reduced it to 66 so I was pleased, but I cannot come off my sitagliptin till I’m at 48. I will cross fingers for u.
 
Cheers bud . Well done on dropping down on yer bloods . I was lucky I got diagnosed at 6.5 so only on diet at the moment hopin for a reading around the 5 to 5.5 tomorrow . Fingers crossed
