Type 2s: What was your fasting blood glucose in a morning? (very low chat level)

Morning All

5.7 for me today, celebratory Birthday Indian last night might have been a mistake.

Kevin - I always find any illness, stress, or steroid injections always raise my levels. Don't know why, suspect its to do with the liver releasing more glucose to fight the infection.

OK, so even when I no longer have DP, when I'm ill, the liver still dumps through the night from the stored glycogen?

Adrenalin from a misunderstanding? More likely.
Tomorrow you will be fine.
When I get stressed I have higher bgs @KevinPotts which sparkes me eating rubbish so mine can get very very high.
I'm trying to manage my stress more but I'm not perfect.
 
8.0 at 7.45 am this morning. Could be due to 4 yr old grandson staying over and at 1.50am he had been sick in the bed, followed by a trail from bed to his bedroom door. Didn't get back to sleep until after 5am :( after washing bedding, carpet and grandson!

Hemm here we go

Type II
Using glucophage slow release 500mg bd was 5.7-6.2.

Now on sukkarto slow release has jumped 6.8-7.8 unpredictable and unexplained. Has been like this since sukkarto was prescribed.

During the day average is 5.0 to 6.0 sometimes lower. I do not believe sukkarto works and I am relying I wharves left of my beta cells.

My lifestyle is very high stress work eating very late every night 23:00 to 00:00. 20-25 hours sleep over the five day working week. Yes ut sucks bad but I have a heavy workload and brexit has added to that.

Don't tell me to ease off or get another less demanding job I support three families it ain't an option.

I walk average 3-5 miles every day eat as carefully as I can oh and have Bronchiactesis great combo

So let me guess heading for an early grave

Regards from the down at heart as I wish my iron will on eating and exercise paid more dividends
 
Let me add my two younger brothers one is TI poor control and the ther TII no control mother TII does not get it at all and has no thyroid. Haha all off the same dysfunctional branch of the DNA.
 
10.6 at 7:00 this morning. Then a spike to 14.8 by 9:30 even after my metformin. Later in the morning jumped to 15.6. Lunchtime before eating I hit 17.3. Another metformin and down to 11.5 by 3:15. Going to bed on 9.4
