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

[beatdise]

Your numbers or time of my post must've been pee break

Time of your post...

@dianagrace sounds like you're having a lovely, if exhausting time, wth your baby granddaughter and family. And doing so well with resisting temptation

9.1 this morning, *sigh*. Don't know what is going on!

Very enthusiastic liver?

 

[Sable_Jan]

I don't want to appear to be raining on your BBQ, but I would suggest testing a bit longer with the lasagne (pasta generally), as it's infamous for sneaking up over a longer period. I certainly found I was fine at a couple of hours, but after 3 I had gone up further and stayed there for several hours. I'm not alone in these findings.

I hope you're not one of us who reacts in this way, but it's probably worth a few strips just to be sure.

Thanks for your concern @AndBreathe Was only 5 sheets for the whole thing, weighing in at 100gs so carbs was 72/4 erm 18. Sauce was thin and made with soya milk. Am testing it again at lunchtime. The garlic bread was half of one of those mini part-baked ones. Some carbs in the "meat" as it was Sainsbury's soya one.

Well done you! I may be able to manage the meat and spud pie, but I can't manage 2 slices of any sort of bread, whatever the sandwich filling. Strange how we are all different.

Strange, but important to remember

Hope all goes well and the results are a resounding NEGATIVE. my Dad had it in middle-age but with an op and medication he lived to 72.....

 

[Clivethedrive]

I had similar today. 6.8 before breakfast and tested again at 1-3/4 hrs to drive to doctors, Its 9.4 !!.The only difference today was no blackberries on the yogurt. Perhaps I was a bit heavy with the sprinkle of granola ??

I'm afraid I'm not sure... I'm thinking it may be a cardinal? I asked Mr Google for a pic of red bird in the snow and this beauty caught my eye!

Ah, I thought it was yours. You don't know where the photo was taken then?

Good luck Clive. My daughter's father-in-law is still going at 81 after prostate and bladder cancer several years ago. Think positive.

Well the only thing that I have done differently this week consistently is have that half glass of juiced BITTER GOURD. My number after my walk this morning is 4.6.

Yesterday had to get a sandwich from Greggs before business meeting. TUNA CRUNCH brown bread I was only 6.2 after two hours.
Maybe it is a combination of everything, exercise, diet. accumulative sustained focus. I am NOT working out in a gym though. All I do is my two mile walk which has got brisker everyday as I have got fitter and stronger.

Thanks for all your support and guidance, legends members and management team. HURRAH!!

Ooh another one who has seen the effects of bitter gourd on blood sugars.

It works for me too! At different times, I've tried bitter gourd tablets, bottled bitter gourd juice and the actual vegetable eaten raw in salad ( an acquired taste and I can only eat a small amount) and I've added it into a curry.

So how do you manage to drink 'HALF GLASS OF BITTER GOURD JUICE'?

Do you juice 1 whole bitter gourd at home?

I'll have a look and see if I can find the website it's on .... Back in a bit

@Dibbles1

Are you still parted from your legs, or has someone rescued you?

 

[poshtotty]

Ain

You may be being slightly more active than usual (perpetual motion, rather than exercise sessions)?

Ain't that the truth!! Rocking, cradling, bouncing.....
