Measure Fasting Glucose Every Morning

What gets measured gets managed. Tracking your fasting glucose every morning gives you direct, objective feedback on whether your lifestyle changes are working.

How to do it correctly:

• Measure before eating or drinking anything except water
• Same time every day for consistency — ideally within 30 minutes of waking
• Log the result — in this app, a notebook, or a spreadsheet
• Look at the 7-day and 30-day trend, not individual readings

Target values:

• ⚠️ Pre-diabetic range: 5.6–6.9 mmol/L
• ✅ Normal: below 5.6 mmol/L
• 🎯 Optimal: 4.4–5.0 mmol/L

A consistent downward trend over 4–8 weeks is a strong signal that your habits are working — even before your next HbA1c test.

💡 Basic glucometers are inexpensive (~€15–25) and test strips are widely available in pharmacies.
