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

NewdestinyX said:
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?

Hi,
I may not remember to do this everyday but this morning mine was 6.7 and I am very pleased about that, I was taught how to vary my insulin by looking at three Fasting readings in a row. It works for me and I only vary my insulin by two units each time. I was on a research programme for a new meter and after the programme came to an end I asked my specialist team doctor what her thoughts were on it and I was praised for taking notes on it. My insulin was changed and I was encouraged to follow what I had learned. Doing well now and feel as if I am in charge of me instead of Diabetes being in charge of me.
