Have a tantalising Tuesday everyone

Have a nice day

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?

Well mine was 6.7 this morning which I'm fine with as I more concerned how I feel not what my blood says I should feel.
I think far to many people diabetic 2 worry over their morning readings.

Good morning ️ from California!

4.83 mmol/L 87 mg/dL. Tuesday morning. Have a nice day everyone.

Didn't take this morning but straight after my work out it was 6.1

 

[Lainie71]

If I get up at 5.30am, take my bg and its in the 5s, have a few walnuts and snooze for an hour does that still count as my fbg as that's what I have been doing

Just took it now and its 5.3

Still waiting for final diagnosis, waking bs around 15.5 at the minute. Not sure which type it's going to be is frustrating

 

[Estragon]

waking bs around 15.5 at the minute

Ouch! Not good. But if you read my signature four years ago this was me “11/09/2019 87.00 - After nurse registered an 18 on my non fasting A1c.” I also had a BG fasting of 15 too. So, @Adzz90, keep the faith and welcome to our Band of Diabs.

Oh yeah, my morning BS was 5.9. Not too shabby .

Yes, your reading when waking at 5.30 is your FBG for that morning, irrespective of what you get up to afterwards.

Thank you LivingLightly, that has made me happier x

Edited... Got sidetracked and forgot to press send... I should be better at this

 

[LivingLightly]

Just took it now and its 5.3

I would say it counts. I’m usually up at that time, unfortunately I don’t go back to bed for a snooze

 

[Hiitsme]

5.7 which I am very happy with but no reason or doing anything different over the last few weeks. I know I've been double jabbed and also had a cold but 6's 7's and the odd 8. Nothing makes any sense to me.

 

[JohnEGreen]

7.2 this morning inching down each day when I had the double jab doctor said you may feel rough for a few days what an understatement.

 

[RD02]

Morning all, a 5.8 this morning
