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

6.9 this morning and went down to 6.3 after porridge and a pear. I don't take any medication and am a bit confused

Liver dump often ensures that the waking level is not the lowest of the day. You don't say how long after eating, the level came down to 6.3...which is good as either porridge or pears would certainly spike my blood sugar. The blood sugar can dip before it shoots up again...and the reading needs to be at least 2 hours after eating to see how your level is once it has dipped, spiked and come down again. I'd be very happy with 6.3 two hours after that kind of breakfast.
 

Hope you are feeling better soon, @Freema. Being ill is no fun.
 
Hello (18/9/17) at 7.15am
6.8 which seems to be the norm at mo
tomorrow I can take an extra 80mg of Gliclazide at dinner
hope that will help bring FBG down a notch or 2!
I hope I've managed to upload a photo! Sorry if you get a crick in the neck.... my photos look ok on my phone, but are sideways on the forum!!

Hula, hula hula koʻu'ōmaʻomaʻo'ōmaʻomaʻo maikaʻi loa me nā pale mīmū a me nā dudes mālie. This morning I have reached an artistic block regarding silly ways to state my blood sugar levels. Not that my inane ramblings are in any way artistic. Anyways on with it, my waking blood sugars were a plain, dull rather uninteresting 3.0mmols. My little dog is sitting behind my front door waiting for her morning stroll and then it's off to the labour camp for me. Enjoy yourselves one and all of you
 


A fresh day dawns.

My morning level of 5,8 remained unaffected by my 6km walk.

And just to prove that beauty really is in the eye of the beholder and that there is no accounting for what will attract my camera's interest...
