- Hate the doctor's surgery. The Doctor is okay though.
I am supposed to be a diagnosed, Type 2 sufferer and I am mystified.
I am told that a non-diabetic person will have the following readings:
Two hours post meal (with carbs) a reading below 7.8 mmol/1
After a fast of 8 hours a reading of 3.9 to 5.5 mmol/1
My normal evening meal is completed by about 7pm each evening, mostly protein and fat with some carbs. (Green Vegetables) I am usually well asleep by the time eight hours has elapsed, so I take a reading in the morning before eating. This can be anything up to 15 hours after the last meal.
My morning readings are generally in the 7.0 to 7.4 range.
My readings in the day after meals, are always normal for NON diabetics.
Am I right in assuming that after eight hours of fasting the body begins to produce its own sugar? This might account for the higher readings after a fast of 8 to 15 hours.
I have not taken any metaformin so far, and will be telling my doc that I don't wish to, and prefer management with diet. On the LCHF diet, I have lost 28 lbs in weight since I was diagnosed about 6 weeks ago, and my blood pressure readings are also slowly normalising.
Thanks in anticipation.
