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

Morning all. Swipey said 5.6. What I said isn't suitable for here but this new sensor was a feisty little divil yesterday. Important markers still fine so on we go. Forgot to wish you well for the bloods @nutribolt - my that is some menu. @Ryhia anyone who can make LC baking edible must be bewitched. My Food Fairy still wakes up with cold sweats after nightmares from some of the memories. Hope the antibiotics work @JohnEGreen , thoughts and prayers with you.
 
Hi I am usually around 5.5 in the mornings
sometimes a little higher.
 
Now any blood glucose not utilised by body cells is considered excess fuel and is stored as body fat for later use thereby bringing the BG down overnight.
Yeah, sounds plausible. Thanks for your response.
 
I was at 88 mg/dl this morning which is kind of low for me, but I've been eating mostly salads for the past few days.
Welcome @diabetesknow. Does 88 or 4.9 need correction for you? Salad for a few days? I've been eating mainly salad for over 6 years. Most of the rest of LC has become too hideous for me to contemplate. Lord knows I've tried.

6.1 when I was rudely awoken by the dog barking as next door left for work. Waited 10 mins, made coffee and tried the other hand: 5.8 I prefer that.
@Ryhia please post your cake recipe (maybe on one of the foodie threads though) it’s certainly done your BG good, great scores recently. I did a lot of lc baking to begin with but have got out of the habit recently.
