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

0745 this morning and 6.7. I had a glass of milk and a little bit of Brie just before bedtime but in the last 3 weeks my morning weekly average is down from 10.4 to 8.1 which is a 25% reduction that I am very pleased with. Total weight loss in 3 weeks is 7 lb 14oz so only another few stone to lose. LoL! Now in the stage of missing meals as I still feel full. A few walnuts /Brazil's keeps the full feeling with a glass of water or tea/coffee.

That's brilliant @Bigman49 . Well done. Keep going. :)

Well done, Swiggy!
I agree with @ickihun - if you're doing this well without meds, it's definitely worth seeing how far you can go without them. You might surprise yourself!
Meds are a useful tool in the fight against diabetes, of course, but there are many who would give their eye teeth to be controlling it via diet/exercise alone.
Keep up the good work! :)

Thanks @debrasue I started to doubt myself but when I looked back over my diary I do think that I have come a long way. I will keep going and hopefully I will continue to improve. X

Knight hawk, such low numbers from you every morning. What is your secret and are you on medication or just diet and exercise. Keep up the good work and inspire all of us.

Thank you Knighthawk. Just so you know, you are inspiration to me and others who are struggling to keep our blood glucose low.
