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

[Sable_Jan]

4 jelly babies, 1 green banana 5.8 feeling fine thanks, that will teach me not to skip dinner, obviously when low carbing not a good idea to skip food.

All back to normal.

Thanks folks

I was thinking syrup or honey but glad you got yourself sorted. A scary low like that......woah, take care

5.3 this morning..... consistently bobbling around the mid 5s at the moment which is fine by me

The stronger the alcohol content the better, less carbs left as sugars

Ah..just discovered this thread. Hi all. Diagnosed T2 last week, and started testing on Thursday morning. That morning was 20.3, yesterday was 19.0, and this morning 17.1 - so, very encouraging so far.

Have you tried the Gullon Sugarfree ones? They are yummy too - alas not cheap but we won't be troughing on them so its not too bad . There's actually a thread someone started about them but I found mine a few months ago....bought them online but the"shop" has sold out now.....got enough to last quite some time though

its called ApprovedFood - they sell short dated and foods beyond their "best before" dates - sometimes I guess "over stocks" too cos it sometimes has long dates on.... I'll see if I can find that thread cos they were discussing where they bought them. Just remembered they now have sister site that does @free from@ things....
