No particular reason for asking but what're everyone's blood glucose targets?

Mine is 5mmol - 8mmol
 
Mines 7 to 10 and flying out the window fast at the moment .
 
I stick with the Libre 3.9-10
 
Mine is the same as Barbara’s, 3.9-10. That’s what I was told on my Libre educational meeting. I like it, I used to try 5-8, that’s tough!
 
4 to 6.5 are the limits for me.

I really feel for you type 1 and type 3c people. It seems you have a very tough job every single day tryingto keep your BG within sensible limits.
 
As a t2 I've never been given any even though my practice nurse (well one of the 3 different ones I've seen so far in the same practice)wants me to finger prick. So I'm going by 5-8 as higher i get dizzy and lower i get lethargic.
 
I seem to average between 6.5 and 7.2 on waking, I would like that lower. For 15 out of 25 days it has been in the 6's, so that looks a touch promising. (At least wishful thinking has 0 carbs...)
