What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

[Gosport_Nancy]

Mine was 18mmol yesterday morning and 14mmol this morning

I haven't had fasting readings that high for years so I am guessing this is due to some infection or other.

5.4

A couple of months ago my baseline was around the 7's but now it seems to be in the 5's! I'm hopeful I can start to look at lowering my meds soon but I'm nervous that my current diet alone won't be enough to keep me on track. To restrict myself more and have to think about food even more would send me spiralling into disordered eating again so I need it to be ok lol.

And now this morning, down to 6.5

It's that d*m yo yo effect ( or affect never sure which is which )

 

[mojo37]

6 again this morning, finally I must be doing something right. Closed my eating window so perhaps its that

Does that keep the carbs out ( closing your window then lol )

 

[mojo37]

Good morning all. 8 for me today.

Hopefully it will be lower tomorrow .

[mojo37]

Oh if only it did

Fingers crossed it will all be okay

8.0 this morning. Not eaten since 1600 previous day.

 

[ChrisT2]

Hopefully it will be lower tomorrow .

Me too, never sure if this is good or bad but others seem to achieve lower levels. Despite changing eating patterns I don't seem to be able to influence this.

How right you are ladybird64, I can still remember how scared and confused I was after diagnosis, the last thing anyone wants at that time is ridicule or aggressive posts telling them what they should be doing. Far better to offer empathy and encouragement IMHO.

I am new and I am a little scared with it all. Day 4 for me

That's sensible @Rashkami, Slow and steady wins the rest.

It takes time @ChrisT2. It doesn't improve overnight.

Are you doing all you can to keep carb intake low ... ish?
