[QUOTE="ianf0ster, post: 2367886, member: 506169"] Hi [USER=200217]@Beelady[/USER], Fasting Blood Glucose is the thing that takes the longest to reduce. So I think you are setting yourself an impossible target in trying to get it down that fast in only one month. Many of us take a year or 2 to manage that. However Although my FBG is still on the higher side, my HbA1C is well into the non-diabetic levels - not even pre-diabetic. and has been since before September. I suggest that you concentrate on keeping the BG spikes from food low enough to be a 'normal response' i.e. no more than a 2 mmol/l increase from before a meal to 2hrs after 1st bite. This will lower your maximum BG and reduce your average BG. But your Fasting BG mostly depends upon whether you suffer from 'Dawn Phenomenon', where your liver 'helps you out in your quest to hunt/gather your breakfast' by dumping glucose into your bloodstream as a quick source of energy. Your liver doesn't know about fridges or supermarkets! [/QUOTE]
