Hi, my first time in a forum! My levels this morning on waking were 7.8. This is good at the moment, as I'm on steroids for a chest infection and as we know, they push levels up.

My diabetes has been playing silly buggers for some reason over the last few months (probably my weight gain) but I was 7.2 this moning....

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?

Hi mine was 8.9 did not have good sleep had coffe before I tested, do people recommend testing before coffee.

8.1 for me. Ate 2 sugar free Gullon wafers at 9pm last night and took bloods 1st thing. Usually have a cup of tea and then walk dogs before taking bloods and I'm in around 7.9. Guess this needs some work.

Yes 1 st test ideally before your feet hit the floor( as your liver will kick n and start supplying the morning glucose ready for the day ahead) known as the dawn phenomenon
