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

Morning All so 8.0 on meter was 5.8 on Libre an hour before I got up after being a straight line 5 all through night. I get up at 8am and maybe thats too late for a good result. It seems opening of eyes is more relevant than foot on floor for me. Hugs to everyone struggling to tame the FBG Beast and special hug to @RosemaryJackson for the horrible cramp. Happy Friday everyone, going to plant some bulbs.
 
Haven't a bg to report today. Such a bad night and so much cramp, I completely forgot till after breakfast and I know it's not worth it then.
hope cramping gets better for you :< sorry u had a bad night :/
 
4.2 at 5:36am grabbed a couple of jelly babies and tried to get back to sleep. gave up going back to zzz hour later glucose 9.7 :O
just had 1 wheatabix and plain coffee for breakfast usually would of grabbed a couple of wheatabix with hazlenut latte (sugar free syrup just whatevers in the semiskimmed milk)
 
Morning All 7.2 at 0800 on meter on Libre was a steady 5 all night rising gradually from 5.30am. The Libre is so useful for trends. @RosemaryJackson I’m sure you know this but very deep breaths right down to the tips of your toes while standing really helps. I used to do this with my boys, now men, when they got cramps at night. Happy Saturday everyone.
 
Morning all 4.77 on a beautiful sunny Saturday morning. Diet changes are difficult for me to stay on track. Dairy products raise my BG. I started eating Chobani Zero sugar (Lactose free) Greek yogurt with some added ground flaxseeds. This doesn't raise my BG. Ground flaxseeds are good for my metabolism. I am not sure if Chobani zero sugar will affect my kidney or not. Have a nice day everyone.
 
6.5 this morning at 8:15. Much later getting up than I normally am. Had a disturbed sleep due to my son's dog (we were dog sitting overnight) decided she needed to go outside around 4:00. Of course it was me she disturbed.
