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

5.5 this morning - 1 hour after getting up but before breakfast. (Am on a Newcastle style low energy diet) after 5.6 last night two hours after supper.
 
22 this morning.
I am on max gliclazide, metformin, and sitagliptin. I'm 69 going on 90, permanently tired, thirsty, spending a lot of time time in the toilet and with thrush but the good news is that I'm starting on insulin tomorrow and hoping for improvement
 
Hello Zbd, you'll see a great improvement with the insulin .
How's your diet ?

17.2 this morning, had my first insulin yesterday so an improvement already, but I realise it will take some time to perfect.
Feeling better already
 
It was 6 when I woke up at 5:30am, and also 6 two hours after breakfast (bacon) just now, following a quick 10-15 minute walk to the office from the station (including climbing 100 stairs - urgh!), so quite pleased (although I would like it to be 5.x). Only day 8 of officially being diabetic and less than 24 hours since I started testing BG though.
 
Mine was 5.3 today I've mostly had good readings all this week so I'm happy, I think joining this site might have been one of the best things I've done in a while.
 
Friday, 13.2 today, early days yet

But it has been around 8 or more (I've ditched the evening fruit and yogurt snack and just have the yogurt now!)
