Hello mates,
At a couple of the other forums I've frequented there was a thread like this one where we all sorta checked in each day, with our first cup of coffee or tea, and reported our fasting or waking blood glucose level and some short comment about whether we're ok with it or if not - why not?...

It worked well as a sort of 'first thread to check' each morning and post to.

I'll start.

This morning was a 5.6mmol for me. That's about normal for me

What about you?

my readings first thing are 13 to 17mmol
 
12.1 - I keep getting between 9.5 to 12 every morning despite being ok the night before.

So I thought of checking myself during to evening to see when my levels rise, so Yesterday I recorded the following

I was 6.2 before tea and went for a 15 mile ride on the bike, 5.9 at 9.00pm, 6.1 at midnight,
a noisy car woke me at 3.00 am so I checked myself to see if my levels had risen, nope still at 6.0, yet by 7.00 am
it had risen to 12.1
 
6.6 just been diagnosed and not on medication. Does anyone know if that's a good reading without meds or do I need them?

Hi jojo1980, welcome to the forum, true normal is 4.4 to 5.8 and anywhere in between is good !
 
I'm no expert but my fasting bg is always the highest of the the day usually Between 7 and 8 today's was great at 6 so hrs at 6.6 isn't to bad as long as the rest of days readings are good you should be ok
 
7.2 today.

Welcome to the new posters.

Midnight star, when I had a headache the other morning my reading was higher. However, I am so new at testing I do not know if the headache was the reason for the rise. Look forward to hearing the answer from the more experienced amongst us.

Hope you are feeling better soon.
 
Thu.9th. 6.6 today, :)getting there, but is this a one off?- Here's hoping!
