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


Thanks for that Freema
 

Hi guys....
Numerous reports rolling in.. Same thing different folk.

Stay on the topic. Thanks.
 
4.9 today. Changed my sensor yesterday, waited 4 hours since it was bleeding, and then found out that it wasn't working right. So I put in another one, which also bled, and waited another 4 hours. This one worked, but I'm exhausted from staying up late waiting on these sensors! And even though it worked, it gave me completely wrong numbers (dexcom = 11.7, finger prick = 6.3 for example).
 
4.9 today, which is higher than the last couple of days. The reason is I had a later night snack including a small piece of lemon drizzle cake . I also ate about 1800 calories - which is high for me. So yesterday the difference between morning fasting 4.2 and overall average 4.8 what higher than my usual 0.3 difference when consuming 1200 ish calories. All very mechanical !
 
You're doing a great job on calorie counting etc, well done on your results. I just wanted to mention that meters can be quite inaccurate, so differences of less than 1mmol/L don't mean a whole lot. So don't be too worried about small changes in your blood sugar - it might not be true at all. (You can probably safely eat that delicious cake )
