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

I usually test after I have carried out my morning ablutions but before I have had breakfast so still fasting. I guess its what I'm comfortable with.
I'm well impressed, thank you for sharing.
 
FBG was 5.4 this morning which seems ok but the lower number is the result of imbibing alcohol so sometime tomorrow or the next day I will pay the price. Very poor sleep at the moment thought maybe a glass of the hard stuff would send me to sleep, it did but I was still awake at 4:00 and got up at 5:00. This is getting to be a habit which I don't really care for.

No problem, not sure which is harder to control type 1 or 2.

For me I accurately carb count/ guesstimate and do lots of small corrections if required. Illness, sleep, stress and general life all have an effect, but I’m in charge not diabetes
 
Thank you. Family and friends are being reassuring.
