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

[Deleted member 308541]

Got in to the fours for a first time fasting reading of 4.9 at 5:00am.

Hi, Ally1 Operation went ok, he had cancer of the bowel going to see him shortly. My bg are always between 7.2 and 12 nearly every morning, but this morning my best reading for more than six months 5.3 and two hours later 7.3. Feeling really happy with those readings. How are you today, well i hope?

That reading is great and hope you get many more like that. Mine tend to be between 6.5 and 7.9 on fasting, but about a year ago, they were around 17

Fbg 7.2 due to rice crispies and milk before bed. Shopping to be done today. Losing weight since reducing high protein with its carb counterpart.

You are one of the forum memers I admire the most @ally1 I've seen your numbers tumble since I joined in January - well done

A nice score if I was on Strictly ... 8.0 eating half a bar of regular choc, a heap of biscuits with my cheese, flu jab and a sleepless night was always going to give me a high, maybe not the type I want Onwards, upwards though ....

To prevent any more hypos, in accordance with the nurse, I'm moving to morning injections. Last night I took four units instead of the six and this morning the six units. None tonight and six in the morning from now on. The reading of course is up but it could have been worse - 8.5

Update - My two hour post breakfast reading was 8.7! Only up 0.2! Amazing!

Give it 3 days to settle down. Well done.

Buy some atkins bars on-line. Nibble them whilst doing tax return. I know how stressfulI it can be!
