5.4
mid evening walks to check on MiL.... a very sweaty body when I got home.

6.7 - Although 0.7 higher than yesterday, and knowing what I ATE yesterday I can FULLY accept that. Truly, 6.7, I really got off lightly. I was thinking more 7.5 or an 8 . Moving forward...

5.2 today

 

[DJC3]

6.8 For goodness sake!!!
Kept track yesterday in case I’d allowed carb creep but no, 10g carbs. What on Earth does my liver think it’s doing?

5.1 today.

My FBS is usually between 6.5 and 7.2 though mostly well under 7?. I take Metformin 500mg with dinner.My hbaic late January was 54.
Re the FBS readings too high in these circumstances ?

Hi @Rohan

Here’s a chart showing target blood glucose ranges, and a link to an article on this site. You’ll see you’re not so very far out, but I’d suggest starting your own thread to get some more advice/support from others as this one is mainly for recording fasting levels. https://www.diabetes.co.uk/diabetes_care/blood-sugar-level-ranges.html

5.3 this morning, despite the lie in and late night snack of ginger biscuits.

Better reading than the last few days with a 7.8

5.3 this morning, despite the lie in and late night snack of ginger biscuits.

Did you give yourself any insulin for this ginger snack?

 

[nutribolt]

4.3 this morning.

It is after 2 days of fasting so kind of expected number. I broke my fast at 63 hours mark and today will be an eating day so reading tomorrow is the one to watch out for.

Have a lovely day everyone.
