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?
Mine was5.7mmol this morning and 8.9 going to bed am on lantus at night and fiasp at meal times. The result this morning good for me as been 3.9 and 11.2 during last month.

I reversed my Type 2
Treatment type
Diet only
5.1 from the lab tested serum venous sample after 2 x 750 mls of tea with h/m almond milk so technically not fasted. Implies I may have some sort of rudimentary bg control. I just don't like the menu. @DEBBIESCOTT hope the hospital visit went well. @PenguinMum thanks - we are a community (if not all of convinced believers)

Left meter alone for a while. Changed nothing else in diet, because there was nothing left to change. Have not exercised much either, and yesterday I had a white bread roll with my bacon.
This morning, 6.1. Happy with that.

122 mg/dl. I think 5.6 mmol is good?

Good morning
Libre 4.8
Contour 4.2
consultant I saw yesterday said I need surgery, all booked in for this morning, so not much time to panic, at least stress & poor sleep doesn’t mess with my b/s
Enjoy your day everyone, it’s nearly the weekend
