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

[ickihun]

10.8 this morning, and I continue to get these far too high readings. That is except for last Thursday afternoon when I felt decidedly queezy for no apparent reason. This didn't improve, so I reached for my BG meter to find a reading of 3.8 and dropping (another 2 points over half an hour, despite me reaching for the chocolate). Is this hypo country? I've never been there before. If it is, it's decidedly scary - I don't want to go there again. My reaction was, of course, over reaction - after the usual 1 hour then 2 hour checks, I was back up to +9. However, I do now realise the potential of an almost zero carb intake, coupled with my new medication.

Take things slowly @David_A_Hughes . Do med first then diet. Less of a shocker! Maybe later you can drop that med?

5.7 this morning. Visit to See Diabetes Nurse this morning. I expect that my recent intake of steroids is going to play merry hell with my HbA1c.

A nasty 8.2 this morning. Better sleep thou after over treating an hypo at 3amish. Not surprised as good routine interupted in hospital. Starting more meds and increased beta blocker today. The joys of diabetes! Ha ha

Could be your leptin is messing you around? That's why I don't approve to fasting diets. Leptin production gets confused which in the long run doesn't help me. It may help some thou.
