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

Go Team D. @karen8967 :woot:; @ultradad excellent bouncebackability from The C; @Widgets - that kind of nonsense:woot: - raises bg - I've tested. @DEBBIESCOTT enjoy the 5k and pub lunch. I'd like the 5k but JKP would like the pub lunch. Never was keen so COVID and The D provide perfect excuses for me.:angelic: Stay safe team.

I haven't because I've only been measuring such things for about 7 months. I really miss the days when it would be possible to do the tests though!

I'll pray for you to get the opportunity for some adult exercise. On topic, it is very good for fbg and sleep.

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?

New to this site and on day 5 of using Freestyle libre2 monitor which is very good but I am surprised and a little concerned how my glucose level goes up a bit over night - nothing since 6 pm low carb dinner , can anyone tell me why it goes up and not down if not eating for 14 hours ??? 2 cups of tea raises it a bit more - no sugar just milk

Welcome and good on ya for signing up, using the meter and posting. This may help a little in explaining the difference between last thing at night and first thing in the morning.
 
Morning All. Grumpy about 7.7 at 0830, slept in but early supper of lamb chop, mushrooms & sprouts so WHY I want to scream! I could have double checked but couldn’t hack it. Don’t worry I will get over myself soon. Going out in the garden to plant out Christmas tree and do some weeding, never ever before in January but they loved Dec weather. Have a great Sunday everyone. Stay safe and well.
 
5.5 for me this morning .

Running later today, off to pick up a cross trainer for the garage early afternoon , I think I am becoming obsessed !
 
A frustrating 7.1 this morning - off for a work out :couchpotato:

Sorry, I am picturing a rather angry athlete trying to demonstrate calisthenics squeezed between the car and the lawn mower!
 
7.6 this morning, yay! Mine not to reason why, mine but to check and cry "Hallelujah!" :D
Onward and (hopefully) downward ...
