Hi ray,

121 isn't very high. If I understand things correctly, your morning fasting glucose numbers has more to do with the amount of glucose excreted by the liver after a five hour period of no food while you are asleep rather than what you ate in the preceding evening. Someone will surely take me to task here if I am wrong about that.

My FBG number this morning was 142. Want to trade?

John I do believe you are right. Mine was a little high today 196 not sure what is causing that. From what the doc says 140 and below is normal in the mornings. So ray yours was actually pretty good.

thanks so much , i some how was led to belive that it has to be less then 100 .
i did notice one thing when i walked on tread mill for 40 minutes i had 5 points less after that .

thanks gang so much for helping

ray

Here are some ranges of numbers which you might find useful.

Fasting Glucose Readings:

65-99 = normal

100-125 = prediabetes likely

126 and higher =diabetes

I agree with John - 121 is not too high at all.
And it is to do with the liver and pancreas having a "party" while we sleep and many diabetics have their highest reading in the morning - it is called the "Dawn Phenomenon" and it is very common amongst us diabetics.

john thanks always for your info and hathani always learn something from you .

When I was first diagnosed in 2009.They told me a fasting glucose of above 99 is bad and the a1c should be below 5.Now I have been told just dont have your glucose above 140 and a A1c below 7 is fine
