Hi, i was only diagnosed last week with Type 2, im struggling with the whole thing!!! i test my bloods first thing in the morning and its always around 10.5-11.1. how can i reduce this? not sure what i should be doing first thing in the mornings/Hello mates,
At a couple of the other forums I've frequented there was a thread like this one where we all sorta checked in each day, with our first cup of coffee or tea, and reported our fasting or waking blood glucose level and some short comment about whether we're ok with it or if not - why not?...
It worked well as a sort of 'first thread to check' each morning and post to.
I'll start.
This morning was a 5.6mmol for me. That's about normal for me
What about you?

It was the GBBO what done it.Good luck with the cholesterol test today @Ryhia still a good fbg in spite of the stress.
Today I was really cheesed off to see a 6.6 this morning. I had a Deliciously Guilt Free cake (1.3g carbs) while watching GBBO last night. Haven’t had one for a few days and BGs have been good. The evidence really is pointing at those cakes. What a pain, I have a freezer full of them!
Thanks for the good wishes apparently it will take a while for the tests to come back as it also included an ApoB test. Its sad that it looks as if your Deliciously Guilt Free cake may have caused the highs. Perhaps you need to leave them for a couple of days and then try again, just to prove things. One of these days I will try the low fibre bread again but I want my equilibrium back firstGood luck with the cholesterol test today @Ryhia still a good fbg in spite of the stress.
