Should I be concerned, my bloods from Thur have been in the 8s and low 9s. I've fasted today till after 12, still 9. I feel okay x
 
Fasting just encourages the liver to pump more glucose into your blood stream. Try eating something low carb and go for a 40 min walk if you are able.
 
8s and 9s are towards the top of the normal range, but not massively high, and shouldn’t be anything to worry about short term 🙂
 
I'd see those sort of numbers if I fasted, so I eat a small amount of carbs with my first meal of the day and then don't need to be concerned about eating for the next 12 hours.

Ok Ty good to know, trial and error eh
 
I only eat 2 meals a day (just one on weekends), so my fasting BG is higher than it might be, but the way I see it is that it doesn't do any harm when it only gets as high as 7.8 to 8.0. Human ancestors binged on fruit (carbs) in the Autumn and stored it as an energy store of body fat to see them through the winter.
It was nothing to be afraid of until we started experiencing the Autumnal carb glut all year round!
