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

[Mandingo]

Last night 12.0 this morning 13.3 other then a stupid weekend result my falt . Trying to keep carbs down being a veggie and slowly trying to exersize doesn't seam to work I'm all over the place I'm tired.

@Gabe86
I understand your frustration, and that you're tired.

It sometimes takes a little time, for you to see the fruits of your labour.

If you continue, with your new eating, and exercise lifestyle changes, that you are making, you will see results.

Fabby... brava....

I'm not sure I deserve your "Brava" as all I did was sleep. However, at this stage in my attempts to stay off the meds, I'm grateful for anything that is evidence of my efforts.

 

[WeeFergus]

Yes we are having a role reversal. Congratulations on the numbers. Shocker for me this am!

Just think of it as a gift to a friend!

 

[killerkaz]

Glad the move has gone well. Getting into a routine always helps

So true, and it just shows how quickly and easily bad habits can creep back in when you take your eye off the ball.

Hi my reading for the last two days, 30th = 5.4 & 31st = 5.6.

 

[s_k_s]

No testing today. Up all night with work. Fell into bed at 7.30 for for 3 hours before setting off for a meeting. Didn't feel like testing.

Cheers - 7.8 2 hours after lunch. Looks like round 1 to the bloods.

Thanks, Merrylizard. I just get mad that fasting for say 7 hours whilst in the land of nod can raise my BG the way it does. I must experiment and fast for 7 hours through the day and see if my liver feels it needs to help me out in the same way.

I wasn't too well on Sunday and had nothing to eat between lunchtime and 10.00 (about 9 hours) but when I tested before eating my BS was 7.3 which is quite high for me because my range is usually between 5 & 6!!

4.9 this morning. I'm often in the 4s in the afternoon but this is my first one in the morning. Am now on antibiotics for my tooth ache (gum infection) so it will be interesting to see what my BS is tomorrow morning.

I hope the anti bugs work fast and you feel better soon... It's miserable for you...

Oh that's nasty and very sore, I had a wisdom tooth out a couple of years ago because of gum infection. Hope you feel better soon

 

[kimbo1962]

Late on parade today!
Fasting was 5.7 after bedtime of 5.6
Busy day at the office...Thursday starts the big influx of easter arrivals and then it's the madness of good Fridays arrivals, going to be hectic!

 

[Daphne917]

I hope the anti bugs work fast and you feel better soon... It's miserable for you...

Thanks - hopefully they will kick in soon!

Oh dear, that's not good. Maybe I'll just skip my proposed experiment and stick to my usual routine. Thanks for the 'heads up'.

 

[emptyplate]

Thanks @Kezzer4321

I don't know how, or why, but although that's what the carbs say they don't impact on my bs and I have tested them many times because of it. I do know that there are carb ratings which include ALL carbs and not just "available" carbs....... the same seems to apply to me with SugarFree chocolate (at least the brand I treat myself with) ..... I wish I could remember where I read about the "available" carbs - i.e. the carbs your body actually uses. When I find it I will post a link to the article. If I were to eat the same amount of carbs as bread, pasta, rice, potatoes I know my bs would jump (or maybe even do somersaults)

@Sable_Jan Have you checked for the 'pizza effect' or just 2 hours post prandial?

Forgive me if 'I'm trying to teach my granny to suck eggs' ... not saying you're old ... stop digging the hole now Simon.
