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

5.5 mmol , not bad considering I had 3 muffins for supper (not low carb muffins either) :-0
 
hello guys mines a bit of a mess looking after my disabled son its really not controlled very well due to circumstances - well here goes its a 7.8 today !! normal was 4-7 but lately its around 6.5 to 8.0 ..
 
Hi, my first time in a forum! My levels this morning on waking were 7.8. This is good at the moment, as I'm on steroids for a chest infection and as we know, they push levels up.
 
My diabetes has been playing silly buggers for some reason over the last few months (probably my weight gain) but I was 7.2 this moning....
 
Hi mine was 8.9 did not have good sleep had coffe before I tested, do people recommend testing before coffee.
 
8.1 for me. Ate 2 sugar free Gullon wafers at 9pm last night and took bloods 1st thing. Usually have a cup of tea and then walk dogs before taking bloods and I'm in around 7.9. Guess this needs some work.

Yes 1 st test ideally before your feet hit the floor( as your liver will kick n and start supplying the morning glucose ready for the day ahead) known as the dawn phenomenon
