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

4.9 at 09:00, after the best night's sleep I've had for at least 3 weeks.

Discovered that my new painkillers (Nortriptyline) can either raise or lower bg levels, so maybe it's not my doing :roll:

i was 6.4 this morning, but i did have a small slice of custard tart last night at a family BBQ,
it went down to 6.2 two hours after having my bacon egg and tom though :lol:

9.3 this morning. I know this is high but it's much better than it has been.

You are doing well Claire

My daughter was 9.9 this morning so i am getting there with her, i am trying very hard to be patient!!
 
Mine was 7.0 -day 5 of low carb diet - usually have omelette for breakfast.

First HbA1c result was 8

This morning's was 5.8 after a mild hypo yesterday evening of 3.6. It was 5.3 by bedtime and I'm glad to see I hadn't overcompensated with carbs!
 
7.0 Not at all happy with this. My BGs are going up over the last few days and I think it's stress.
 
Hi, just done mine, 11.5 its spiked am usually between 9-10.3 in the mornings! Anna.x :roll:
 
5.2 at 08:00 BST.

I'm a little relieved at that - yesterday I was in the 4s all day, first time ever. As I said, my new painkiller can affect BGs, so I was worried it might keep going down! :lol:

Strange woman!

9.3 yesterday and 9.2 this morning.
 
An appropriate caution, Josie. Yes, a touch base point - but also if a person asks for a suggestion of what's helped others keep an am number low I think that's a good dynamic that can be followed through. But agreed - not about judgement.

Mine was 6.1 today -- guess my snack last night didn't help...
 

Dont know if i like the tone of this comment ether ? is it a WARNING !!!

If members cant freely post BG Results whats next
we going to have a WARNING on weight loss numbers

I cant see its any different from posting your Hb1c

Bowell - definitely not a warning, more a note to let people know not to feel bad if they have slightly higher numbers. I think some of the mods, and ourselves, were a little cautious newbies would find the numbers hard to reach and perhaps feel a bit down or like it was a bit of a competition.

So no, not a warning - just a 'please don't be disheartened if your levels don't match' note.
 
Mine was 4.4. Very happy with as had lowered lantus about 4 days ago.
Quick question - can stress lower your bs as well as higher it? it seems to have done that with me.

My daughter was 15.5 on waking this morning :shock:
She was at her dads this weekend :roll:
