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

[bigjim19]

Strange but true after two day at 6.5 and 6.8 I'm back below my average 5.8

 

[GeoffersTaylor]

I've had a bit of diabetes burnout. I haven't been testing recently and have been a bit more cavalier about carbs (but not excessively so). Back in the saddle a bit now. 5.3 FBG this morning and the same yesterday.

@GeoffersTaylor good to see you back​

Sigh - 6.0 this morning - my own fault - I had a wholemeal bun last night with dinner last night - it seems to have a long lasting effect on my nightly sugars. Still - managed my full 45 minute power walk this morning to offset it. Must do better tomorrow.

 

[JohnEGreen]

5.0 this morning.

 

[Ian12576]

9.3

Morning All

6.3 fro me again today

 

[Freema]

weah 5.4 today at 12:00

slept for 11 hours have a headace and still have a lot of mucus in my lungs, not really gotten 100% healty after the flu, canceled my fitness today and slept...
so yesterday NO excercise. 1970 calories eaten 109 gr carb and 74 gr. protein

Were you in the 6s before bed? A low carb breakfast will start your day on a 5 or 6. Less huge spikes are definitely a winner. Your in the right bracket of spikes. I'm delighted for you. I bet tomorrow even lower fbg.

7.7 at bedtime - after tea at 6.20pm - seemed to be running high most of the day - stress of negotiating the M1 and Sheffield city centre in the rush hour x2 I suspect!

5.1 first thing and 5.3 before lunch......

[berylc]

9.1 @ 7.30am
BUT
6.7 @ 2.30
Not fasting morning I know, but the lowest result for a long time.

9.9 after my pancakes. It could have been worse (or it may have been the four rosemary crackers I ate just before bed because I felt guilty about the pancakes).
Feeling optimistic for the future...

Well I'm having the best day since I started lchf. I had two boiled eggs with Mayo for breakfast and two hours later I was 7.3 then I went on a visit to the Walker Art Gallery and when we got back I had a tin of tuna in spring water with cucumber and Hellman's mayonnaise and a nice creamy coffee. 6.8 before and two hours later... 6.8!
It sounds like you had a nice afternoon out. Sisters are the best!
