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

7.7 this morning...

Lovely morning just ready for my 5k run to the gym 1hr in the gym and 5km run home hopefully it doesn't rain!!!
 
7.8 this morning after an excellent 5.9 yesterday. pre-prandial. Diagnosed type 2 two weeks ago, have been low-carbing religiously since then and have lost 3 kilos. 7.8 was where I started from then, fasting. Why does this happen? Why are fasting readings higher than pre and post-prandial?

this seems quite interesting, maybe you'll get more replies tomorrow morning

Just checked and mine was 5.4mmol at 9.30am

Mine usually varies from 5.0-7.5mmol, i like to be around 5-6mmol where possible so i was happy with that this morning
Mine has been between 10 and 24 got to srr nurse next week
 
Its yer liver...natural for our livers to give us a shot of glucose ready for the days activities,it takes a while to get am fasting figure down,clive
 
Morning all. 7.6 today. Can't seem to get the morning fasting one any lower than that but it's a big improvement on 17 two weeks ago I guess
