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

I have noticed the same when on CGM, my BG has two peaks, one around lunch irrespective of any food or fasting. The second peak is after dinner and obviously very carb dependent and peaks around 2hours after eating. When eating earlier, the before bed is fairly good and low however next day it starts again at a low about 3am but the same old steady uncontrollable rise until lunch. I can almost predict the readings without looking at the phone.
Unfortunately it just resets itself at night and goes through the exact same daily routine and frustratingly I don't have any control on the overall peak levels only the little foodie spikes along the way. Even exercise doesn't halt the overall rise
I am still in the experimental stage as I desperately want to ditch the metformin but I am floundering around at the moment.

Moan over, happy Friday and well done and hugs to all with their own personal struggles and successes.

- hmm. Almost similar.

I am just trying to get the lowest levels i can without destroying my life

over the last 7 years my hba1c has increased despite keto and fasting

im currently bmi of around 18. ( 68 kg and 190 cm tall)

not a typical type 2 presentation but low enough hba1c (47 ) for docs to refuse c peptide testing

i tried metformin but it made no difference
 
Hi All late posting but it was a sad old 8.1 this morning. I was interested in what @OrsonKartt and @ChrisT2 had to say a out BG starting to rise around 3am which when I wear a Libre is often the case. But oc its important as we get older to get good nutrition too. Its all such a balancing act. @DEBBIESCOTT you have come a long way since that first A1c you are a real inspiration. Happy grey an d soggy Friday everyone.

For me food pairing seems to be more important than timing, were all different[/QUOTE]

Hi. -? What do you mean by food pairing ?
 
6.6 this morning. A bit of a rise but then went out with friends last night after fasting all day (26 hours) then having a few drinks and a late-ish chinese meal.
9.1 before bed at midnight, It was one of those "what the hell" moments as can't eat like a hermit or rabbit all my life, thankfully this mornings reading none too bad but will expect a sharp rise this morning. Already at 7.8 now with no food.:mad:
No regrets as it was a one off and a welcome treat, have a good weekend and for all those UK folks make the most of the extra hours sleep.

Even my GP told me , a naughty day is no problem. The trick is getting back on controlling it straight afterwards. Give it another 12, hours you’ll be back to normal readings
