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

[Jordi77]

Morning all my sugars are 15.4 this morning on the Libre 2

Morning All delighted with a 6.6 this morning. @Jordi77 that FBG is very high and needs to come down, either through medication, diet or a careful combo of both. If it stays high best contact your surgery. Best wishes.

Morning all 5.5 this morning, back with good numbers through the day after eating since changing my ratios. Managed to not peak above 8 yesterday with my calculated ratios

Morning @ Jordi77. Your FBG numbers look erratic, it must be said.

Most of us on this FBG thread (and the parallel thread for Type 2s) log our numbers first thing as soon as we wake up. BG readings rise once we start to move around, but recording as we wake makes the circumstances of each result as close to identical as possible.

FBG readings taken under the same conditions provide a helpful benchmark for day to day comparison.

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.

11.2 at 6am bad nights sleep and still full of cold etc .

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.

Good Morning

FBG Fingerprick 7.3 Libre 7.3 been a pretty similar number most of the week. Wondering if it could have anything to do with my arm though id imagine that should effect my daytime numbers not just the FBG.

Hope everyone has a good day.

Morning prickers and swipers

Sunday, 4.4 mmol on waking at 6.00.
Take care everyone and have the best Sunday possible.

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.

6.4. I am now interested in seeing what my before breakfast reading as it has been 90 minutes since I took that.

Update: 6.8 after waiting.

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.

 

[Jordi77]

Morning all my sugars this morning were 11.2 on the Libre 2 sensor

 

[DEBBIESCOTT]
