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

[Sable_Jan]

Seems ever so long ago that I got up late ... 5.3 though. Doesn't seem to matter what time I get up, it's the point of testing in my routine that makes most difference

Fasting is now between 5.1-5.3 amazing what cutting out carbs can do.

Jay1Jay1, I just did a 2 hour after and it was 5.4, don't know if it's the no carbs or the meds but got a thirst and peeing regularly , is that normal in the first few days?

Hi loulou
Metformin 500mg once a day and gliclaside 40mg x2 per day , my BS seems pretty regular now it's between 5.1-5.4.

That's good sounds life like they could be working cause of my genetic disorder I can't take metformin or any of the tablets so its good old insulin for me. Glad your doing well.

I'm afraid it seems normal the weeing and thirst are part of the diabetes , I would think it's probably the low carbs that is keeping you down as the Meds will take a few days to come in , 1 metformin a day is a starter dose to let your body adjust so they may increase this a some point .
Your doing great so don't start worrying you really are doing well
