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

[Pipp]

I woke up and found it at 6.4, was not expecting that as I went to sleep with it at 5.5

I was diagnosed a while ago but only recently started testing, is it normal for blood sugar to go up overnight whilst you're sleeping?

Hello, and welcome.
Early morning higher levels explained here

Good to see you testing and reporting. It does help to keep focussed.

6.7, and went to bed on a 5.9 . Lousy night, woke at 2am, and that was it. Sleep and circadian cycles are shot.

I'm feeling pleased with myself today because yesterday my BG was 6.4 - a bit high for me as I try to keep it at 6.0 or less. I ate carefully yesterday and this morning it's 5.4! I was surprised because I didn't have much physical activity - just a short walk.

I am type 2 in remission which I manage without medication.

Nice one. I'm a new member and recently diagnosed Type 2 with 19.2mmol and since then been fighting it on low carbs without medication. My 3rd day below 9.0 (this morning 7.2) and looking forward to going below 6.8 my lowest so far.

Nice to meet you all.
