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

[Lainie71]

I didn’t think it was a competition but if only successes post I think it discourages others

I've had terrible readings and still post as it off loads the frustration for me!

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?

11.6 so not good!

My readings are also bad so they want me to start insulin injections which I don't want to do as it will affect my motorhome and car insurance.

You and your frustration and your numbers are very welcome here.

11.6 so not good!

But its a start, so that's good. I remember my GP nearly fainting when she saw my finger test. Think she said I was in the 20s

Woke up and with no sport was 5.6 (101mg).

7.3 - Outta the 5s. Outta the 6s. My T2 condition reminding me I can't eat fresh Strawbs, Easy Peelers, Grapes, and Rice-laden Vegan Sushi. Yup, I've defo got T2. Oh, but the fruit and the Sushi were great.

Morning All and a 6.6 which is very pleasing. I used to deride the sticky sixes but now I praise them lol. Happy Friday everyone, still hot so take care.

6.7 not bad considering heat poor sleep etc ( oh and rather a lot of lovely crusty bread and cake )

Morning!
5.7 today and...
I have checked my NHS app and the blood HbA1c results are in! 6.2 / 45. Very happy!

6.3 Having gone through what I was eating and seriously reduced carbs only to find my readings went down a little and crept back up. Now I have accepted a few more carbs and feel much better and readings don't seem to be much different. Will keep a very careful check and take action if needed.

 

[JohnEGreen]

6.7 for me this morning.

 

[Mallyman]

Happy Friday, RoughcutAU!

Get well soon Misti.

A belated 6.4 this morning from me.

Managed to nick my finger with a paring knife making breakfast, so plenty of blood sample for the monitor. Didn’t improve the reading, not that it’s too bad considering.
