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

Sorry for breaking the “with some chat”.

You didn’t.
The ‘some chat’ element is just that, a short amount of chat text, (not reams of paragraphs) relevant to the thread topic, after reporting and including your fasting reading.
Today my meter gave me a break from sticky six.3 I got a 6.2 instead.
 
Hello. Bedtime 10.1. Had a very upset digestion most of the night and didn't bother to test this morning. Think I've picked up a bug so I'll have to be more careful.
 
Up before 6:00 and a 5.1 this morning. Early mornings seem to work better for me.
 
Morning All 7.2 rounds off a week of 7s which really bothers me. I put a Libre 2 on a few days ago and it confirmed my food choices but it showed that I hit 6 after I go to bed and flatline never going below 6 until I wake up when I quickly shoot up to 7.
@RosemaryJackson get well soon and @Overwhelmed I feel your pain. I don’t know what to do because I am eating carefully. Enjoy Saturday everyone.
 
I’ve just found this thread and will use to hopefully keep myself on track.
I was 5.6 this morning

5.9 - I haven’t had that since April this year. Flash in the pan?

Is it just the meds or have you changed anything else.
Oh yes, I ought to add , “well done”! I am truly pleased for you, @Estragon .
Today I had 6.4, which given all the 6.3s of recent days and the 6.2, averages out at, yup, 6.3 for the week.

Hiyah! Well, if you’ve followed my posts I’ve started to take Orlistat. O is a fat reducing medication during take up during the assimilation in the stomach, I think? This has the beneficial effect that fat removal, from wherever, is allowing the insulin to have more effect on my cells, along with the Metformin. Sure, early days, but something is happening, we’ll see, huh?

O has, for me, some “unfortunate” side effects, but I’ve persisted and the effects have reduced.
 
Morning All. Another 7 a dastardly 7.5 at 0730 but Libre showing a fourth night of steady sixes until 0500 when it shoots up. So I don’t know whether thats encouraging or not. @Overwhelmed I think I am in your camp! Happy Sunday all.
