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

[May2017]

Re the morning level..what do you know about "dawn phenomenon" (ie. live dump); re the post meal level...what was it before the meal?

@pleinster i don't know what "dawn phenomenon" means. The post meal level was 7.2.

5.5 this morning - would have been worse since I had a very chocolaty pot of ice cream at the theatre last night, so had some ACG before bed to combat its effects. Thoroughly Modern Millie in Manchester was amazing!

5.8 this morning which is the highest for months. I ate rice for the first time in ages yesterday, so I am aware of the cause.

I am amazed that my reading this morning was 5.9 this is after following fasting for at least twelve hours overnight and a low carb diet. When I started on the 22nd March my morning count was 13.7 and it has slowly come down since then. I am actually looking forward to going back to see the nurse at the hospital at the end of next month.

4.6 this morning. Have an assessment with the talking therapy people this afternoon - very nervous about that. Now taking citalopram for the anxiety too.

Will be thinking of you. You will be fine

7.8 today.

My best reading for over a year. Plus I got down to 91g of carbs yesterday, which probably helped.

@daisy1 will reply to you giving links to loads of great reading material. My advice when I was a newbie last year was "read, read, read" Oh and test! Knowledge is power. Find what works and doesn't work for you food and carb wise. We are all different, and have our unique road to follow. Good luck to you
