Hello mates,
At a couple of the other forums I've frequented there was a thread like this one where we all sorta checked in each day, with our first cup of coffee or tea, and reported our fasting or waking blood glucose level and some short comment about whether we're ok with it or if not - why not?...

It worked well as a sort of 'first thread to check' each morning and post to.

I'll start.

This morning was a 5.6mmol for me. That's about normal for me

What about you?

5.5 mml. Happy with that.
 
I have to agree with Josie. Although it is difficult not to compare with others, only yourself.

Are you type 2 and what meds are you on. I am type 2 and as well as low carb,I am fasting. I have had 6 days with no meds after being on Jardiance 25mg am and Gliclazide 2 at night.My blood sugars range between 4.7 to 7.7(7.7 2 hours after meals.) If you are going to try this you may need to be monitored by your physician.My fasting periods have been 16 to 18 hours. For example eat at 7 pm and then don't eat again until 12 md. I have found this quite easy. when I eat at 12md,I have a green smoothie.
 
I hate to be negative but this and the other thread along the same lines strikes me as pointless and makes me feel very inadequate. I am probably not alone with this view as it would appear that only a small number of regulars post. The lowest I have ever managed was 6.9 maybe it would be more relevant to ask if you have a low fasting reading what was the previous days readings before and after meals? What do you attribute to low reading to?
