Group 7-day waking average?

Morning 6.3 this morning, a minor miracle since I managed to wait till 8 for dinner and drink 2 glasses of red, the judicious use of biscuits is almost second nature to me now 🙂
 
Good morning 6.1 today That's better 🙂 Worked til 2.30 this morn and last time I did that shift got a good reading on waking
 
Morning all, 4.9 today (and it was 9.2 just before bedtime [eek!] - must have been the slice of Warburtons with marmalade...)
 
4.9, up at four...bored now.

Yay, my very favourite!
 
Good morning all A nice lay in and 6.2 🙂
 
7.5 which the lowest I have had since diagnosis on 15th Jan. I was at 17. I'm on 500g glucophage twice a day. Lost 5 lb in weight so far too. How quick should I get it down and what should be my realistic target?

Sounds like you are making very good improvements Perjanet 🙂 Well done on the weight loss, this should help to improve your insulin sensitivity and help you maintain lower blood sugar levels. These things do take time though, so be patient! Keep doing what you are doing and hopefully things will continue to improve. However, do expect it to be weeks rather than days! Ideally, you need to be waking below 7.0 mmol/l. Metformin/glucophage does take some time to establish itself in your system, and it's possible your GP will increase the dose if he/she thinks it will be helpful to do so - I hope you are not suffering too many side-effects.

Keep us updated, and let us know if you have any questions 🙂
 
Morning 6.1 today and 5.9 before bed so seems like the basal might be calming down fingers and toes crossed 🙂
 
Good morning Unexpected 7 today Good readings all day yest Just one of them things.
