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

14.9 !!! Yesterday and 14.2 this morning started back on metformin today so hope to see this drop .

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’m in US so my readings are different (not sure how to convert). I’m always high first thing and then steadily drop.
178-117-95

Morning all my sugars this morning were 14.1 on the Libre 2 sensor at 0730 due to a party last night

Morning All. Still curiously going down by 0.2 so today 6.8. At this rate I should reach the Hive in 10 days (don’t think so haha). Hugs to those who need them esp @RosemaryJackson. Have a good Friday.

Well managed @DEBBIESCOTT. Going out to dinner and eating later than usual can both be problematic, but you still turned in a decent FBG reading.this morning. Well done you!

Slow and steady wins the race @PenguineMum. We know you can do it!

Hi @kathryn59,
Welcome to the thread.
This link might help you to understand what others are achieving - https://www.diabetes.co.uk/blood-sugar-converter.html I have got the conversion process correct, the 178 equates to around 9.9.

FBG 6.3 this morning which is not unexpected. Holiday time has come around and we are off to Turkey tomorrow with my Son, DIL and the 2 grandkids. We are meeting up in Manchester for onward flight. Hope the weather's ok.
