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

[Omar51]

FBG 6.2 this morning.

I want to thank you all. That is the best FBG I have seen for many years, and it's been like that for a week! I don't usually have a lot to say, but thanks to your assistance I have been able to fine tune my diabetes routines and get back to the numbers I want to see but that had been eluding me for several years, slowly creeping up. My doctor blames it on "age". Well, yeah, I am nearly 70, but I don't believe that age makes it impossible to control my blood sugar-but everything I knew to do worked less and less well. Using the information I found in this forum, I was able to learn new things, and even my postprandials have been below 8! You folks are amazing. Thank you!

Great job and good luck

5.1 FBG, extracted from a reluctant pinkie this early morning. Lowest yet. No idea what I’m doing to get this, cottage pie with celeriac mash last night and ate really late.

Off to work now, completely stressed out but happy with the trend.

My loop is set to 6 - so its pretty much stable all night, usually a slight rise at 7:30 (to 7) due to disconnecting the loop for a shower at 7:00 or so, then it brings it back down to 6.

I was diagnosed last Friday - complete shock as didn't know I was even being tested for diabetes.

On Saturday morning it was a shocking 18.9.

I've been very low carb/high fat since then and today it was 11.8.

It's given me hope...

Its like groundhog day - again and again 7.1 despite the workout yesterday, but its just DP so it is what it is. Or perhaps my meter is broken lol

Mine was higher than that when I was diagnosed. It will get better and its going down by the looks of things - well done x
