7.5 really sore throat, headache, runny nose. Must say it's the first time I've been happy with having a cold

I've got a cold coming on too.

Morning FBG 6.7

Hey - ideally what would be a number that suggests a dawn phenomenon? I say this because before bed it was 6 so it had risen overnighy, maybe not drastically but still..

Meoman, the itching is indeed infuriating and exhausting; I spend many a night lying in a hot bath to gain some relief. In common with many diabetics I've had fungal infections from time to time but that wouldn't seem to account for the head to toe itching (sometimes even my teeth itch!)

I've found Eurax (crotamiton) lotion helpful, so you might want to give it a try until you see your doc.

It's supposed to 4.5- 5 on waking. My db nurse says that below 7 is ok. I find the only problem with that is after having breakfast it's going to go even higher and take longer to get back to normal. I don't like mine being above 6.

Aah ok good to know ive looked inyo how to reduce it but is it just a thing that happens. Have only bren on low carb for 2months now

FBG is tricky. My last few Hb tests have been in the 30' s but my FBG is still up and down.

I've been in this state for about 5 months and managed to get my HBA1C back below 48 in three months. The only thing I can't get right, and believe me I've tried all sorts, is my morning blood sugar levels. Low carb diet and exercise keeps it down but I've got below 5 once.

Blimey
Well thats brilliant progress you made overall though!

Hello mates,
At a couple of the other forums I've frequented there was a thread like this one where we all sorta checked in each day, with our first cup of coffee or tea, and reported our fasting or waking blood glucose level and some short comment about whether we're ok with it or if not - why not?...

It worked well as a sort of 'first thread to check' each morning and post to.

I'll start.

This morning was a 5.6mmol for me. That's about normal for me

What about you?

Morning PatsyB, Are you type 2, with insulin? I'd be interested to know.

Hi all, 6.8 this morning I'm coming down with a cold too been up most of the night coughing and aching. Had a flu injection Tuesday perhaps this is a side effect?
