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

Phew 5.9 this morning! I didn’t post yesterday as it was 7 and it made me fed up! Why do some of us sabotage ourselves. I’m desperate for this operation and my hba1c has to be below 6.9 before they’ll do it! Keeping my fingers crossed isn’t going to achieve it now, is it!! (rhetorical question btw)

I’m off to see ‘Wicked Little Letters’ today so the next challenge is resisting the popcorn and bag of sweets.

Have a lovely day everyone and hugs to those who would like one x
 
In case anyone is annoyed with their readings today:

I do a fasting test a few times a week just to check I am still on the straight and narrow. I don't do a first thing in the morning test as my FOTF works faster than my co-ordination when I wake up, so usually I test just before I eat, which is brunch. This morning after a shopping trip and before brunch was 6.7. WHAAAT????? And one hour later, still fasting, 5.2.

Dynamic business this BG, eh? Or possibly a dud strip.
 
Evening @Outlier

I suppose it depends on the purpose of your FBG records. Testing as we wake is the simplest way to ensure the conditions pre check are as close to identical as humanly possible. The results then provide a useful benchmark for day to day comparison.
 
6.9 this morning. Forgot to take 2 of my diabetic med yesterday Just goes to show they do their job of lowering my BG although I’ve noticed I’ve started getting stomach cramps 2 hours after taking my morning Metformin.

Have a great Friday everyone and hugs all round x
