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

Please tell me you don’t waste the ‘mouthwash’ by spitting it out? Just swallow it .

5.1 for me today. I am optimistic that the lurgy has left me.
 
5.0 this morning.

I am 36 hours into fasting but am not feeling all that hungry so have decided to stretch it until later. If I do feel hungry I will eat but if I take it all the way till tomorrow then perhaps I will just make it a 3 day fast and eat day after tomorrow. I do like creating these minor suspense episodes for myself.

Have a lovely day everyone.
 

I'll have to try that as my mouth feels like a cat slept in it....

I'm afraid I do its only a small amount of whiskey that Ive been using to rinse with though
 
6.1 about an hour after I’d got up and taken the dog out.
@PenguinMum the CGM trace is fascinating isn’t it? Hugs for the bad night and this mornings fbg though.
@annabell1 I love the idea of your whisky mouthwash
Yeah it works too!. This bottle of whisky is pretty old and been opened goodness knows for how long as I stopped drinking whisky years ago. And it works just as good as any mouthwash as well haha
 
is it normal for blood sugar to go up overnight whilst you're sleeping?
Great to see yah here! Anyway, define “normal”? And yes, I have exactly, exactly, your experience. Please search around here for Dawn Phenomenon or DP.
