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

Back to topic ! 4.2 average fasting today - I predicted 4.8 average for full day yesterday - was actually only 4.6 which proves scientifically that what I had thought was a " good dieting day " with no cheating actually WAS good dieting day . meal out tonight might be more of a challenge - goal today to stay at 4.6

@Freema - you very nearly made it - limit the grub today and you will be back at under 6 in no time. By the way not sure if you are using a libre. If not my actual finger prick test for fasting was 4.9 now not the 4.2 average and that's because the dp is kicking in. you might find your overnight averages are already in the mid 5's
 

Yes I was disapointed right before sleep my number was 5.2 so thought everything would be ideal , slept horrible on the other hand woke at least 5 times

If it is any help to you - one thing I have using the libre is that whatever my number just before bed time, my blood sugar remain at or below that number all night long, it is only on waking up that the figure rises beyond that. So if you are anything like me ( which in many other respects you seem to be) - you probably did spend most of the night well under 6.
 

Thanks for that information. I like whiskey but apparently it has more sugar or carbs than vodka. Well done on 4.0! Unfortunately my numbers are consistently higher with lowest ever of 5.3.
