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

[alliebee]

Have you done a comparison?

Yes both meters and 4 different pots of strips. All the same

Hope this situation resolves soon.Best wishes.

Hope it soon resolves. Drink plenty and don't go mad. You might be brewing something xx

Hi @alliebee

sorry to hear about your unexpected blip.

The only comparison I have was when I had the-night-of-the-fox-fight in the front garden, and I was out there breaking up the fight at 3am
poss the worst night of sleep EVER and so fight-flight that I didn't sleep a wink after. I think it was being woken up by the screaming and hitting the ground running that did it. I had a shockingly high fasting bg after that.

Anyway - long way of saying that stress/pain/sleep deprivation has astonishing effects on BG.

Also, can anyone remember when @MrsB broke her leg and was hospitalised with terribly high bg and ketoacidosis, with pain a huge contributor? shes a type 1.

So hopefully, allie, when you get to chill, and the pain eases, and you catch up on sleep, things will just go back to normal.

wishing you the best.

Sounds like you'll burn it off then :-D

Oh dear, hopefully it comes down soon. Seem to get messages in random order when I reply and miss some when using App. Does same on laptop tho easier for me to suss out on there

Thankyou so much. You are right it was a bad night...hoping things settle now. I really didn't fancy the insulin. But dr said it would help to stop the rise and maybe stabilise things. So I'll just monitor it all today..your post is very reassuring thankyou x

@alliebee - have you set yourself a testing programme for the rest of the day, to ensure you don't drop quickly?

just ahd a thought - you are going to be at a higher risk of hypos than usual after that shot... could you have something to eat that won't affect your bg, but will release slowly, to avoid that hypo? something like bacon and eggs?

I know that when my fasting is too high, the best solution is a protein breakfast, and my bg settles down quickly after that.

Oh gawd,................. We're not sharing a brain again, are we?

well, I do notice an echo sometimes, but I always thought it was just the empty space...

@alliebee Please look after yourself and keep us updated, @ally1 probably had the same thing few days ago isnt it.

Thankyou yes I'm testing every 15 mins at the moment. Its coming down nicely I'm 7.8 and its a nice steady drop

You are so right. I've had scrambled eggs with some cream and mushrooms. I'm being very careful

@AndBreath & @Brunneria

You're not alone - I'm concerned @alliebee is at increased risk of a hypo after the insulin.

Great minds think alike ...
... fools seldom differ. ;P

Glad to see @alliebee is on top of things - stay on the ball there!

OK. Enough already. A three-way split on the brains not leaving much for me to function with!!

Lol. I'm touched by the concern. I've got jelly babies and honey at the ready upstairs and down next to 2 meters. Have my neighbour at home if I'm struggling. But I think I've gauged the dosage as far as I can to the right amount. The drop is nice and steady and I've had a good if late breakfast. I'm drinking lots too...I feel fine...not sickening for anything. It most likely is what @ Brunnaria said. A bad night with pain. And a blip...will keep you all posted. I'm at 6.7 right now and testing every 15 mins

You can have all of mine - I function on reflex actions! LOL

 

[emptyplate]

Heh, and there was me thinking 6.3 mmol / L was a high fasting reading!

 

[alliebee]

Oooh I've become a legend?? Where did that come from lol. On my profile. Is that a polite way of saying I post too much

 

[alliebee]

I'm in exalted company then @pavlosn and @Brunnaria are legends too!
