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

[WeeFergus]

6.8 this morning after a 5.8 last night at bedtime.

Failed my mission for yesterday - got caught out unexpectedly. Obviously didn't learn the Boy Scouts' motto!
7.7 mmol / L this morning after a false reading of 9.1 mmol / L and wash of hands and retest.
8.2 mmol / L at bed time.

Let's see how I do today, eh?

5.2 before bed
6.1 this morning.....

 

[chancellors]

Good morning, my fasting results @ 08:20 were 5.8.

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)

I just thought it was really high - if you compare it to a normal digestive which is 62.9 per 100g and 9.3 per biscuit. With only a difference in carbs of 0.6 it may well be you can eat the normal variety.

I guess as a non diabetic you dont have to be so careful... unfortunately I cant eat either type without a rise - so I will stick to my low carb cake instead

5.4 at bedtime (midnight)
then two shockers
6.5 at 2-40am (bathroom visit)
6.2 this morning

No idea why the rise between midnight and 2-40am. I don't normally test during the night , but something made me do it last night. I wish I hadn't bothered! I slept well, no dreams, no worries or stress. Most odd. My evening meal was a normal one, nothing different.

The vagaries of our condition, test, record, move on someone much wiser than me advised.

Keep well BT

5.9 think its fair to say the meds review has done its job

Next step is to get down the amount of meds - I've dropped the Gliclazide from 2 twice to 1 twice (Step 1)

@Welshgooner
As a direct result of a type of lchf and exercise, I too have been able to reduce my Gliclazide meds from 160mg daily to just 40mg......need I mention Step 2?

Forgot to test this.morning. kit was upstairs from previous nite which meant I didn't end up testing at all yesterday either....ate nothing new apart from teatime

Fantastic... and in a short time too...

@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.

Thanks Simon, yes done the hour and a half, 2hours, 2.5 hours at which it's always been lower than at 2 so never done a 3hour.....

Very valid point tho, and I am a grandma , just not sure I'm old enuf to be yours

This is just not good enough! Take 100 lines "I must never, ever, ever, under any circumstances whatsoever, forget to test my blood glucose levels."

8.1 am fasting don't know what sort of activity my liver was getting me ready for just wish it wouldn't . Lost 2pds weigh wise since Monday and gained several notches on the BG scales

If I were ever to admit to forgetting - I'd probably be too busy writing lines to find the time to test....

This morning 's fasting: 6.3

(I remembered this but forgot my pre breakfast test later... though sometimes I won;t bother anyway with this when they're very close together.)
