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

6.2 this morning ( overnight range 3.8-.6.6 and average 4.9) Unusually it has gone down to 5.8 after my shower -but then this is also the first day since my holiday binge where I have registered ketones on waking up - only 0.2 but its a start !
 
7.7 or 139 mg/dl,
This was a test, only a test-I had a low carb (20) dinner late (8:30pm) with no insulin. Metformin and other usual medications were taken. It was over 200 mg/dl last year when I did the same test with the same meal ( 4 oz hamburger patty, half a bun, A-1 sauce, kale and cabbage shredded with oil and vinegar, water, 20 peanuts in the shell) in the first week of January 2016. This shows progress to me but is still too high to go without insulin. I took 38 units (down from 40) this morning with breakfast.
