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

HI, I'm new! I have type 2 and to be honest I haven't been given much info relating to diabetes. My glucose levels (fasting) have ranged from 12.9 to 28.5 over the last two weeks. I have only just started checking them. I take metformin. I'm not even sure how good/bad these are.
Evening @wotn and welcome to this FBG thread. We're pleased you could join us.

Hi @wotn.

I'm a metformin user. How long have you been taking metformin tablets?

Unrelated, your profile (shown on the left of your screen) doesn't tell us the type of diabetes you've developed and whether treated with medication or diet alone.. Might be helpful to update, if you would like advice from members on other threads.

Once again, welcome.
 
Hi All so 7.3 today after a lovely mid 6 yesterday. Welcome @wotn and good advice from @LivingLightly. Read around the forum and you will get lots of useful info that we can’t go into here as we need to stay on topic. If you’re starting out FBG is tricky to get down and I would recommend focusing on the day time readings after food. Happy Sunday everyone.
 
Afternoon all. FBG this morning was 5.9, so staying in the right general zone for me.

Went for a swim & now baking some sugar free cookies for treats. I find it easier to resist the full blown sugar fest that is Easter if I’ve got an alternative that isn’t going to blast my BG into the stratosphere.
