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

6.6 mmol 1 hour after breakfast black-bread and blue cheese , slept at my mothers , didn´t bring meter, helped her with balcony washed her bricks with caustic soda disolved in water and planted flowers in outdoor flowerpots.. and then beated her most of the time in scrable yesterday evening... it was mothers day here in DK, we have another day than all the rest of the world.. :);):happy:
 
8.0. Which is quite normal. I then went for a 20 mile bike ride before breakfast/brunch and it was 10.2 when I got back. Have just eaten brunch (egg, bacon, mushrooms) so will see what the numbers are in 2 hours.
The levels rise during exercise as the body is under stress, so the kidneys release cortisol, which activates the liver to produce glucose. This is the body's way of gearing up for a stressful situation.
