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

[LivingLightly]

Morning all

Tuesday, 4.9 mmol/l on rising at 6.00 am.
Take care everyone and stay safe.

After just a few hours sleep I get a 5.6 on the blood letting machine ( contour next)

I’ve noticed this on other sleep deprived nights. Anyone else ? Or is it just a strange on going coincidence?

6.8 for me also this morning. Won't be updating for a few days due to an unexpected holiday after being told to use up some of my leave so booked a late holiday. I am under instructions to just eat and drink whatever I want and ditch the constant food weighing, portion estimating and finger pricking. I have already secretly packed my meter and test strips but will no doubt reduce the testing and updating owing to family pressures.
See you in a week or so, keep up the good work and I look forward to your help in keeping me on the straight and narrow when I return. Good luck to you all.

Mine was a bit higher than I would like at 7.2 this morning. Had bad sleep, worrying about appointment. has dropped now to a more acceptable 4.9

Hope you are monitoring that very high level, @kevin50 , and will seek medical advice if it continues.

I get the same, sometimes! Thought I would be in the 7s today due to a late night and not feeling great. Nearly keeled over when I took it this morning and was in the 5s. Do not know what I am doing but my bg seems to be dropping steadily over the the last week, not complaining though

Gotta love the 5’s

Greetings @kevin50 and welcome to this FBG thread. We're pleased you could join us.

Many of us have experienced high numbers that seemed insurmountable, but with help and support right here on this friendly forum, you’ll get results.

Once again, welcome!

Take care everyone and stay safe.

6.1 @ 7am

 

[RosemaryJackson]

@DEBBIESCOTT, our thoughts are with you.

 

[PenguinMum]

Morning All still stuck in the 7s at 7.5 though yesterday was a difficult day as had lunch with a friend where safe options were thin on the ground. Will just carry on carrying on then. Have a good day everyone.
@DEBBIESCOTT so sorry for the loss of your mum.

 

[RosemaryJackson]

Ive been awol for a few days and not tested. 7.9 this morning

 

[Lainie71]

6.7 this really cold, murky morning

 

[Margaretjamieson]

7.4 this morning, on Libre but checked against my monitor and I’m 8.4 so perhaps there’s a bit of a difference between the way it’s measured. Will check this for the rest of the 10 days left on the sensor.
