[Faithhope]

Hi all,

This site has been so helpful and i guess for newbie like me ofcourse as we have so many questions around head..

As i have noticed since i was on monitoring; my fasting is high than post meal but when diagnosed post meal went higher and then they said i have T2..

I am wondering if you guys can suggest me how to bring BG low for fasting.. I had 8 when i was diagnosed that on june 26..

Do not eat or drink anything with sugar in it and that includes fizzy drinks. Do not eat anything made from flour so no bread, cakes or biscuits. Some prepared foods have rusk or potato starch mixed in as bulking agents so be very careful with those.

If you get a high +2 hour reading then study the meal you have eaten, identify the problem and don't do it next time.

Lower fasting by diet, metformin.
Google dawn phenomenon and insulin resistance

Lots of reasons why fasting can be the last BG to drop - Jenny Ruhl is good on this.

Also read the 'what was your fasting level this morning' thread for lots of individual stories and experiences.
