Type 2's: What was your fasting blood glucose in a morning?

[Bluetit1802]

A steady 4.0 for me today, in readiness for my little chat with my GP later.

I can't wait for that [/irony off]

Good luck. Blind her with science and she may capitulate.

Watch those quick release carbs like bananas and sugar-added foods, plus snickers. Your spike could be much earlier. Always worth testing "bad" foods every half an hour for the first try at them. Bananas will spike very quickly - that's why athletes eat them during competitions.

I prefer my bananas quite ripe too - do you know if that makes them spike more quickly with them being sweeter. Snickers was a one-off naughty but nice - and bedtime not the best time to test it Usually still awake around midnight but fell asleep early when I wanted to test.... I will try the half hour for some things though. Fingers get sooo sore sometimes. I know squeezing makes them bruise but even on the highest lancet setting I don't always bleed enough to test......

I am having wet dreams about the Nikon D810.

I guess I best start buying some lottery tickets.

Having said this I probably use the camera on my iPhone to take 90 percent of my photos these days. I tend to photograph things as I take my walks and so it is very convenient.

Great photos you send us too - reminds us the sun is still out there - just not here

Stuck in the 5.5-6.0 range at the moment. That's OK but there's a variety of things going on which are contributing to them not being lower.

Still pretty good readings though

 

[Sable_Jan]

B 7·2. Mushroom omelette n Salmon 2hour later 8·4 is this ok or do i need to lower it if so how?

You only went up 1.2 so going off others recommendations of aiming for no more than a rise of 2 that sounds ok to me

4.3 vod assisted from yesterday evening, will take that. Have been increasing carb intake over the last few weeks, had been 30-40 g per day now upto 50g per day BG all in normal range. Long may it continue. Keep well everyone.

The riper the fruit the worse it is, and that goes for all fruits.
I know what you mean about sore fingers!

Bean sprouts but on the other hand brussels sprouts .

Have you heard of "Zero Noodles" some people adore them as they are one calorie per pack (or is it 2?) and made from a mushroom type stuff. I find them mega disgusting but then I do bean sprouts . May be worth you trying them if you want to bulk out your food. I guess I found the noodles the least disgusting of the 3 I tried - the "pasta" sheets - well have you ever had lasagne WITHOUT the pasta? I did cos I took the sheets out and ate around it. Can't think what the 3rd "shape" of "pasta" was now.

Lasagne without pasta? Hairy bikers did a version using leeks cut down one side and then peeled off in a sort of sheet. Different and surpisingly tasty

Think I saw that unripe bananas have more starch while ripe ones have more sugar.

[PatsyB]

Thanks @chris lowe. That sounds quite nice actually as I do like leeks (only way I don't like them is cooked as a veg on their own)

To end the day - bedtime 5.1 (at least i plan to go to bed soon )

 

[MsVelvet]

15.4 last night, 8.0 this morning, diabetic clinic later,so hope i get sorted

Can I ask what you eat for dinner and at night?

 

[Mike d]

6.3 and 8.3 at 1 hour and 8.2 at 2 hours. No ridiculous spike like yesterday. Trying to stay calm but I had a big fall 2days back (slipped on a rug and fell on the base of my spine and heck did that hurt) and still ache a bit.

Morning All,
6.2 this morning. Had a bad afternoon yesterday, did not feel well at all. My readings were good 5.4 during the day and 5.7 post dinner. We had a big storm and consequently were electricity free for over 6 hours. Tired this morning so going to take the day off, well will check work email periodically. I think a chillax day might do me good.

Take care Mike. Falling is not a good thing.
