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

ziggy_w · Aug 17, 2020

Good morning all,

Fasting levels were 5.1 today.

@DJC3 and @PenguinMum -- Hugs for the higher than desired levels. Hope tomorrow will be a better day.

15.8 for me. Having a bit of a struggle at the moment. Lots of hypos and mid-teens despite HBA1C being 7.8 (which I'm fine with). I test 4 times a day and have lots of data from MyFitnessPal. Things have just gone a bit wonky over the last 6 months or so. Hopefully I can get some tips from this forum, which I am new to

Morning All. 6.3 at 0600 after not going below 6 all day yesterday.

Morning everyone, 4.6 today.

DJC3 · Aug 18, 2020

6.0 this morning after Omad yesterday of salad! SO frustrating. @PenguinMum I sympathise. Mine didn’t drop below 6 yesterday either. In fact it was 6.8 before bed.

Hi Rich and welcome. Lots of great threads on here. This is a good one for starters (as well as this one of course);

Still a winner.

5.9 which is good but....
I thought it would be lower after seeing good readings whilst eating out last night. Spicy ribs and beef stroganoff with veg. 2 glasses red. Started eating at 6.30pm.

Hello all,

Blood sugars were 4.9 this morning.

@Rich Worthing -- Welcome to the forum and to this thread. I agree with the others looking at your diet is probably a good first step. It might be worthwhile to start your own thread to get more and more detailed responses to your enquiry.

5.4 this morning. Have a great day everyone.

Welcome and hugs heading your way for the struggles. You’ll find lots of helpful stuff if you read around the forum. I hope things start to improve for you soon.

Thank you.

I suspect my Lantus is too low.

For a while, I was getting highs and lows, which I was correcting and, you guessed it, making things worse!

The diabetes nurse suggested lowering my Lantus to stop the hypos, but I'm drifting up from sensible levels before bed, to mid-teens before breakfast.

Anyways, I'll browse the forum, keep talking to the hospital and see where I end up.

I've been Type I for over 25 years and I have little periods like this where it all seems to go awry!

6.1 today, not so terrible in the great scheme of things but I’d hoped for a 5 after only one light meal at lunchtime yesterday.
