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

[deeparajan]

@JohnEGreen : Thank you. How do you keep yours so low! I am wondering if I have to keep off carbs in the night. I seem to register lower numbers if I don't consume carbs. But surely, not having carbs is not good, right? So confused! Lol

Consuming much reduced carbs is fine. Head over to the low carb forum for more info.

5.7. Whoohoo!

It's a good feeling getting a low reading after a string of high ones, good on ya, keep it up.

I find that if I eat anything after around 9.30pm I have get up to use the loo at least once and if I eat anything other than a gluten & sugar free snack my morning readings are higher. Try peanuts as a snack at night I had some a couple of days ago and they didn't alter my levels at all, good luck. Paul.

Hello mates,
At a couple of the other forums I've frequented there was a thread like this one where we all sorta checked in each day, with our first cup of coffee or tea, and reported our fasting or waking blood glucose level and some short comment about whether we're ok with it or if not - why not?...

It worked well as a sort of 'first thread to check' each morning and post to.

I'll start.

This morning was a 5.6mmol for me. That's about normal for me

What about you?

9.4 !!!
