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

[Susikav]

Certainly is, I had a roast dinner yesterday with mashed cauliflower instead of potato, kale, peas, chicken and a small roast potato with a small amount of gravy. Thoroughly enjoyed it and my bs was 5.2 pre meal to 5.9 post meal.

Fantastic... talk to your uncle...

It was the apple pie with almond pastry that caught my eye?? I can't believe in 7 months I've not been phased by no bread or cake!!

I know what you mean... I will look up the recipe for you and post it ... It is so lovely... I made individual ones in patty tins so I didn't get too much apple - I caramelised the apple first in Truvia and butter - a bit like a Tarte Tatin only the right way up... you have to form the pastry with your hands though...

So....this morning
Spot on 5 !! I certainly approve! Had gone to bed on 5.5
Yesterday never went beyond 5.8 which even having gone out for carvery lunch, beef and pork with greens, sprouts, cauliflower and gravy- did wonder if it had cornflour in but if it had I was obviously ok with it!!
My 7, 14 and 30 day averages are still going to be a bit screwed after the 44 batch blips and yesterday my date was intrigued by testing so (using a new lancet of course!) I tested him, his 6.6 is now obviously going to be in my averages!! Oh well.....at least I know I'm still on track!!

5.1 this Monday morning, somehow I need to get more sleep time.

I've just tested my post breakfast bs and it is 4.8, it was 5.8 just prior to eating full fat greek yoghurt with blueberries and taking my metformin. there have been a few occasions this last week since I have been testing that the post bloods have been lower than the pre blood. Is this normal?

 

[Susikav]

I can't believe you either!!!!!!!!
Bread has been a difficult one for me.
I love bread.
No I loved bread.

Just like you 'was better'...

Mine often are, but I don't take meds - just LCHF and exercise... maybe it's different when you take meds? AndBreathe or ColdEthyl will know for sure...

I'm off back to bed for a couple of hours.
Had a bad night wth pain.
Had a bad night with peeing.
I'm cream crackered.
Goodnight God bless my fellow diabolics.

 

[killerkaz]

5.6, OK but I was 5.2 at dinner +2.

Am I not charting my readings right? If I had those readings I would put it down as +0.4. was the 5.2 before dinner and the 5.6 after?

My post breakfast ones are often lower- I assume that the food has stopped my liver dumping and has given it something to do.

Or was it 7.2?

That makes perfect sense to me...

Similar to what I had Saturday evening, 5.8 on arrival at the Indian restaurant then my pot 2 hrs was 5.4, I thought maybe the 5.8 was me taking it too soon after walking there, I hadn't eaten for about 6 hours too by then, re-tests the 5.4 and it was true second time too!

5.5 at bedtime on Codefree batch 44 (high end of normal range)

a take your pick morning again
6.2/6.1 on batch 44
5.4/5.5 on Accu chek

1hr after breakfast 7.0/7.7 on batch 44
6.4 on Accu chek

As I keep saying, I hardly ever get a liver dump. My overnight averages are flat. The batch 44 was way above my normal range on fasting and after breakfast, the Acc chek was within normal range.

Yes, it's continuing bluetit! I'm fine with my 5 this morning but if bed was 5.5 that means I've lowered overnight not my usual flat or slight rise?!! Maybe bed time was more 5 not 5.5 ??!! 44 is being a pain!!

I find loading up with fat slows down the conversion to glucose.
I can eat fried bread for that reason or bread loaded with butter.

Ooh fried bread, not had that for msny years!

From this morning's fasting I am using my Accu Chek for the next 7 days, with a second reading from my batch 44 and comparing the two for every reading. I keep detailed records including weekly averages of each time tested. After a week I should have enough information to say by how much the Codefree is high.

I'm another that can manage half a slice of fried white bread with a fry up meal. It does nothing to my levels at all, either at 1hr or 2hrs. The fat in the meal seems to allow this.
