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

[Ally Pally]

Why doesn't your doc want you going lower than 5? if you don't mind me asking

I live in Switzerland and my Doc just seems to have a different view of the subject than UK doctor’s. He thinks ‘5’ is a more realistic reading and he’s also totally against fasting. I just follow his rules (a local acquaintance gets the same advice from his GP).

I believe he said/thinks there’s less chance of me dropping to ‘hypo’ levels if I stick to the above.

Morning everyone,

5.7 today. Pleasantly surprised at this as I ate a whole bag of mini eggs last night. Won’t let it happen again, especially as I have NAFLD to try and rectify.

That probably caused one short spike.

5.7 at 0615hrs. Had the urge to bake (and eat - but only one) banana-pecan muffins last night. Bad idea!

6.7 under stressful conditions......nurse struggled for 45 minutes to get a cannula in for my flucox IV.......veins are in rubbish order after 4 weeks of abuse.......can't wait till they switch me to oral. Still....rewarded with 20mg oramorph, 40 mg MST(slow release morphine) and 600mg gabapentin which should keep me pain and hunger free till lunch( coffee only).

Painkillers......the breakfast of champions......although that's enough for a champion racehorse

Well, I'm certainly not a winner @ 6.9. Not quite 3 months into my journey yet though so I have to remind myself I'm doing OK!... and on diet only
