Yes, that sounds good. Was your blood glucose lower last night? If so, you may have dawn phenomena, raised numbers in the morning because your liver dumps glucose before you wake (about 50% of Type 2s have it).
I've just finished a fast myself. I find eating low carb has made fasting much easier and I'm much less hungry. (Before low carb eating, I was always hungry.)
Although fasting isn't helpful for all Type 2s (and those who take insulin or insulin producing drugs need to watch their numbers carefully so they don't go too low), some of us find it helpful. I'm a diet only Type 2 who doesn't ever get hypos although I stop fasting when it starts to get near 4.0 (3.9 and below is hypoglycemia.)
I fast several times a week as it helps my blood sugar and weight loss (I'm one of the Type 2s who's had a long standing weight problem - very insulin resistant.)
Thanks for reply.
Last night I was 6.8, it’s all new to me and to be honest It hasn’t really been explained to me by the doctors or nurses, the only thing I was told was to start dieting and watch my levels don’t drop below 4.4
I started off with aching muscles, legs etc and blurred vision in bright lights.
My muscles seem to be getting better but eyes still haven’t improved much, I had an eye test on Wednesday and optician couldn’t find anything wrong which is a bonus.
I suffer a lot with anxiety so will be really pleased if my eyes clear up.
