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

[ickihun]

Ive done the same thing this morning, I’m sure my numbers used to be better but cant figure out why.
Please post if you find the answer.

Only way I can do mine is old fashioned filling in written diary. It's a god send for me. Not the same on excel spreadsheet.

5.2 this morning.

How long is the fast mentioned in these postings? Is it 6-7-8 hours interval after dinner and before breakfast, without any food in between?

if you want to do the intermittent fasting style with foods then the 8:16 meens you eat in the 8 hour window and the remaining 16 hours you dont eat at all:

for instance like eating between 11 o´clock until 19 o´clock in the day having one two or three meals.. low carb meals that is.

Another good start to the day for you ( at least as far as fbg goes) so let us hope the rest of the day goes as well.

Thanks for the encouragement. Fasting BG has not been a problem for me it is the after meals which spikes....

Thank you Mrs McD. (I also have an ology - your comment just reminded me of that advert) I trust you have fully recovered from the indignity of a trip to a well known Swedish retailer. We don't tolerate such outlets in Cambridge It would frighten the horses.

Frightened the sh.. out of me.

Frightened the sh.. out of me.

I imagine you to be heroically brave and far too refined to have sh.., more waste products which depart serenely. Do I have you confused with the other Janet - surely not?

Anything about me can’t be described as serene. You are maybe confused alas.

Good Morning, 17.2 at 6.30am I had a biscuit last night @ 11.00pm . BG was 6.3. Is my mistakes.

Can one biscuit result in such high numbers? I am surprised. Take care

 

[Debandez]

Very pleased for you - the old "a little of what you fancy, soft shoe shuffle" eh!

Yep, love a bit of soft show shuffling. I have special.made shoes for it

Porridge does the same to me but sometimes it's all in when waiting to do a grocery shop. Some filled with sugar unlike porridge made with water.
All we type2s are missing insulin first response which causes the lingering spike. None diabetics clear the carbs/glucose spike quicker.
We are what we are. Protein breakfast is the only other solution hun. Egg anyway you like it?

Thanks for your post. We had drain problems yesterday, so while waiting in for an emergency plumber I weakened for the cereal. I don’t usually have cows milk in the house but had bought a pint for Easter visitors. I should have thrown the milk away, ( I have now),as I don’t like cereal with soya milk which is what hubby uses. I have double cream in my coffee. Did have my bacon and eggs today, nice to be back on track.

Well. my gast has been absolutely flabbered.

Must I eat something sour for dinner to get this fasting BG below 6 ? Or keep a scale on the dining table to measure the morcels of food? This diet control is becoming very tricky for me, and I am not a great eater!

And what was the net result? Increased dose of insulin or metamorphic?
