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

[MissMuffett]

I can’t make head nor tail of this diabetes thing! I’ve been in the low 6s for over 2 weeks and was thinking maybe my metre had got stuck! This morning it was 5.2! Maybe my meter sensed I was googling new metres

FBG 6.3 this morning. Still sticky, although not so bad as over the weekend when I hit a record 7.2.

5.4 this rainy morning. Numbers have been very good all day long and I’m thrilled. Still get rising sugars upon waking…all night thy are in the 4’s or low 5’s. This is completely different from eight weeks ago when they were high 5’s and sixes…
staying strict dairy free carnivore until the first week in July and I may add a bit of cheese…we’ll see, I’m so happy with my blood sugar control right now and I don’t miss anything.

6.1 at 7:30 this morning. Forgot to post
My hba1c tomorrow and my operation hangs on the results so I’m a bit anxious as I haven’t been as good as I could have been

A modest rise is normal first thing @mojo37 once we start to exercise. This happens even when we've had nothing to eat.

Given time and a consistent LCHF lifestyle, your daily FBG readings should gradually come down, so the morning rise begins from a lower starting point and is less noticeable.

Meanwhile, IME, you can stop that rise with a modest snack; a teaspoon or two of sunflower or pumpkin seeds or four to five almonds or hazelnuts should do the trick, without affecting your appetite at breakfast.

Perhaps you're meant to be a solitary bee @Ladynijo.
How's Sydney these days? You haven't mentioned him lately.

 

[Ambermouse]

this seems quite interesting, maybe you'll get more replies tomorrow morning

Just checked and mine was 5.4mmol at 9.30am

Mine usually varies from 5.0-7.5mmol, i like to be around 5-6mmol where possible so i was happy with that this morning

Mines usually between 6 and 8 so depending what it is if normal I have weetabix 3 types of nuts and were banana with apple cider vinegar in small orange juice. If high I have small portion of krispies and acv with orange juice.

You've still managed to turn in a string of favourable FBGs @MissMuffett.
Hope you're not kept on tenterhooks waiting for your HbA1c results.

Here's wishing you success in achieving the numbers you're hoping for..
