Hi

17.5?
 
Good morning all. Woke up to a 4.6 today.

@Bubbsie and @PenguinMum -- Yes, I think quite a lot of us see numbers rise in the morning when we don't eat. For me, numbers usually drop after getting up, even if not by much.

The morning of the blood test, blood sugars were all over the place, which I putting down to stress.

4.8 mmol getting up
4.3 mmol arrving at GP's practice
5.1 mmol during the blood test 15 minutes later
3.7 mmol another 15 minutes later after leaving the practice
6.1 mmol after a further 30 minutes, where it then stayed a while.

Each time, I measured at least twice to confirm. I just find it really fascinating how sensitive our blood sugars are to stress.

Have a great day all.
