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

6.9 today, hoping it is a downward trend but won't hold my breath.

Forgot fbs first thing
7.7 after 20 mins rowing machine and a shower
I'm having a turmeric ginger and lemon brew before following the mower round the garden before it gets too hot..
Will test again then..

Morning All 7.7 best of this week, no clue why but slept better maybe. @Ryhia hope your A1c result is a nice surprise. Take care everyone.

Morning all, according to Libre I sat just under 6 all night.

Finger prick when tested before breakfast was 7.1.

Is testing as soon as I get up best or do it before getting out of bed? Finger prick was about 30 minutes after getting up.

@BSP consistant with testing proceedure is more important however is using cgm's to avoid possible compression lows 15-45 mins after out of bed (still before food) would be a good idea which should help make result from both be closer. have a look at graph to see how long until it reads pretty flat after you rise in the morning and maybe base off that. for fingerprick method dont think it matters as long as consistant with times after wake.

Thanks, I will base it off my finger prick and do it just after getting up before I take the Gliclazide. Will see how consistent that gets me.

Last few weeks was around 7.5 - 9.0 with one over 10. I changed my diet, started eating less and last week all between 6-7 which I'm really happy with.

5.5 this morning at 6am. And a 7am enjoyable swimming session, 36 lengths today. Then a lovely afternoon painting the woodwork in my daughter’s room, managing to tip over the tin and having to clean it up. Thank goodness for satinwood, cleans up easily, but could have done without that !

5.0 on Dexcom, 5.6 finger prick….the Dexcom was so close to being expired. It’s off my arm now. I had two good days of low sugars and, as usual, my body is adjusting itself and the numbers are going back to my normal….frustrating but not unexpected.
The sun is,out, the heat is ON and we’re in for a hot weekend.
