Type 2's: What was your fasting blood glucose in a morning?

[Susikav]

5.0 for me this morning.... so a Happy Wednesday... I've got the dentist today...grrrrrrrr

Oh dear.... I hope it wasn't too bad... I'm on Saturday now... how do I get so mixed up with all your posts? Doh....

 

[Susikav]

Hope dentist is ok. I had my first ever filling yesterday, just a small one right at the back.

Your first ever filling? Good heavens... lucky you...

5.5 not an actual reading, but a guesstimate, in Conwy with my wife youngest daughter and dog for the weekend forgot to pack my kit, so putting an average reading for me, naught but best I can do.

Looking forward to taking our dog Fergie to the beach this morning, if I can get the girls out of bed that is.

Happy Valentine's to one and all have a great day.

They kind of shut you down big time with meds in the ICU, morphine etc and Propofol (a white coloured liquid called The Milk of Amnesia by staff as it is a general anaethetic). I had ARDS (Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome and Respiratory Failure), can be quite fatal (20%-50% mortality). Long haul recovery and septicaemia to boot which started it off.

Oh dear.... no words.... glad your sense of humour survived it all though...

Woooohoooo!! Despite testing raspberries again for dessert last night, and having a tiny sliver of quiche with thin pastry, my bedtime reading was 7.2 and my fasting reading was ..... drum roll .... 6.1!! First time ever I have been below 7s and almost into 5s!!

An hour later pre-breakfast I was 6.8 and 2 hours after breakfast 5.8!

Oh, and my snowdrops are all flowering and I have a daffodil flowering and loads of buds. The resident blackbird keeps diving into the ivy bush with twigs in his beak... (BTW, I live in Scotland, so it's even more amazing!)

This is going to be an awesome day for me. I wish all of you a similar one.

Congrats to all those with good figures, and commiserations to those who are not so happy with theirs.

What a lovely, happy post... Happy Valentine's to you...

Yes I know, bad Sue.
But on the up side. Porridge and blueberries for breakfast, walk with dog. Now down to 7.0, So not too bad.
Without a meter I would never have known just how bad the apple crumble was for me.

So is porridge, probably... But Happy Valentine's...

4.9 at 10:30 am.....fasting....defied liver dump by being up every hour (dog wth trots) and having snacks almost everytime I was downstairs....makes you hungry and can't get back to sleep hungry....and a brew one of first times. Zombie land and not a hangover from show either

Crumbs... Happy Valentine's... hope you enjoy your breakfast at least...

5.9 this am I expected it to be higher as the Doctor stopped my metformin last night for a month he said as my iron levels low...he also refer me to have stomach checked in case a bleed inside.... needless to say I slept terrible ...worst night sleep i ever had grrr

Only "liked" to acknowledge patsy- hope they get you sorted out soon!

 

[kimbo1962]

I am in pain with my fibromyalgia which won't be helping. That and the stress of using batch 44. Hope my new pots turn up soon. Enjoy being at home. Xx

Obviously don't "like" your pain CE! hope it calms soon.

 

[kimbo1962]

5.4 this morning which makes me think bedtime of 5.9 was another batch 44 catch as I rarely decrease overnight, usually flat or slightly increase! One more pot of 44 left

I've ordered some new strips as it's driving me bonkers. And my fingers are sore. 7.6 on batch 44 this morning. Rewashed hands and it was 6.5. Some of the readings just aren't credible.

5.3 same as bedtime...had 3/4 pint Guinness last nite but only lightly battered fish and peas for tea - no chips

 

[pavlovsdog]

What did you eat last night? Did you sleep badly? Never mind, tomorrow's another day

Hi Susikav, I had some pecan nuts the night before, but to be honest, roundabout 9 seems to be my average. I've increased my evening insulin on the dsn advice, but this morning it's 9.8 :-(

 

[brettsza]

6.0 before dinner
only had 20g carb all day so this definitely was not correct
6.2 after dinner of salad
6.0 fasting
i have changed the tub too but readings are same. Actually the batch is still 4

Congrats, better than 10 !
Maybe you should move from Novomix to longer acting stuff like Humulin M3 which I am on....missed my calling as a DSN rofl

Very interesting visit to the nurse specialist today. She had a read of the letter from the consultant which mentioned that I had asked about lchf and was advised against it. She just looked at me with a smile, and though I had resolved not to say anything, I fessed up and told her I had rebelled and been doing lchf for months. She then said that she had been doing low carb too! I told her all about Trudi Deakin' s change of view (she hadn't heard of her), and advised her to have a look at diet doctor, lol :grin: She took great interest in what I was and wasn't eating, and how well I felt compared to before. She was pleased with my bg's generally, and not too concerned about my fasting, but just said to increase my pm dose of novamix to 56. I also asked her about Forxiga, and she said she had been thinking about that too as it would help with my weight loss and I could come off the Sitagliptin, and she is going to email my Consultant to prescribe it, as I won't see him until June. So, it's been a very positive and productive visit!

That's brilliant, result!
