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?
Surely, either the meter or Libre must be wrong? No use but have a virtual hug.6.9 this morning. Not a happy bunny! Last meal yesterday at 6pm had 8g carbs
Hi, very very new to this. Just been diagnosed, all a bit shocking. I’ve bought a sinocare monitor. Took this morning after fasting 9 hours. It was 8.5. Took again, different finger and it was 7.2 . Do you think I need a new or more accurate blood glucose monitor?
I lost some weight recently with very low carb, and around 1000 calories a day. Also shifted ‘eating window’ to earlier, having previously missed breakfast. Finish eating by 7:30 pm, and breakfast around 8:0am. No snacks. Walking a bit more, as missing gym and swim. Cut out cream, nuts, and I am eating less cheese.I'm impressed with these numbers @Pipp, any tips to pass on?
Had some breakfast coffee and a slice of buttered toast now up to 4.3 so feeling a bit better.Hello all,
@JohnEGreen -- Hugs for the 3.2 and not feeling great.
@DJC3 -- It's frustrating, isn't it? Sometimes, there just isn't any rhyme or reason to it. Hope the rest of the day will be better for you.
@Nick99.9 -- Welcome to the thread.
Fasting bloods were 4.8 for me today.

However, yesterdays walk through forest has resulted in the resident insects feasting on me, despite my efforts to put them off with citronella spray. They have dined on the back of my hands. (Yes all this handwashing meant I provided clean, fresh food for the pesky midges) . I have huge itchy lumps on hands and a BG of 7.2 this morning.![]()
