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

A shameful 9.9, but I feel like I've got my mojo back. I've realised that one barrier to my managing my diabetes is how isolated I've been feeling. I work in a healthcare setting surrounded by nurses with big hearts but limited understanding of diet controlled diabetes. It's a treat rich environment and I'm constantly being offered alternatives that are every bit as bad as the cake they're trying to save me from. Then I get cross and feel sorry for myself. And eat the cake. Adding to my problem and their confusion. LOL as the young folk say.
So I'm coming back to my tribe....

bring some nuts with you everyday and other kinds of treats that is healthy for you and eat them when others eat their treats, then slowly they will understand how different your life is, but that they themselves can eat what you do...
