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

[dunelm]

6.3 4 days on the trot. Has my meter broken.... Enjoy your day peeps

Not so bad. Try shuffling the strips.

Great Idea I might find 5 like other individuals

5.6...pretty steady lately...low carb diet helps...not a strict lc diet...just careful..lol

 

[Jordi77]

My sugars this morning are 8.4

 

[Lord Midas]

Ran out of test strips at the beginning of the week (more on order). Been going off 'feels'.
Not changed my diet though, and slept ok the last 2 nights.
I also think I'm starting to lose weight (even though I've been in ketosis for over 2 months). I hate Insulin.

4.2 this morning. An evening on the Merlot always drops my FBG. Try it - it's science!!

Your lows recently looked promising. Depends on how severe your IR or if you've got an exhausted pancreas will influence whether you can get rid of insulin injections but personally - don't write anything off. In most cases anything is possible! Don't write the possibility for you, off?

I wish I could on tramadol. Very clever resolution thou. Maybe one day soon for me. I don't write off any future possibilities. I used to love my julio reds!

3.4 this morning - way too low! So had a chocolate to compensate. Good job I'd had that oatcake before bed last night, otherwise it may well have been worse!

 

[Mbaker]

4.8 @ 06:15 (daughter baked home made flour-less chocolate cake)

 

[brottonmoores]

4.8 usually in the high 5s

 

[Tim55]

Morning All

7.1 for me this morning, maybe a cold coming on too.

 

[Liam1955]

15/6 - Morning.

7.3
(Had 2 Steriod Injections yesterday, so that's to blame!)

If a person is in diet ketosis a bit of carb can cause the somogyi effect. Especially through the night. Look it up. It states type1s or insulin users experience but out of experience lchf can cause it too.

 

[Louisette]

Oh yeah!, oh yeah!, wiggly hips- slipped under 5 this morning with a 4.9!

 

[ally1]

One of your best readings? As @ickihun said yesterday it's been wonderful to see your readings come down since the time I joined the forum - well done

Thank you. I have had the odd number in the 6,s. Though over the past few weeks, it's beginning to rise again
