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

5.4 this morning which is good considering I had a Chinese last night consisting of sweet and sour chicken, beef strips with chilli sauce, chicken chow mein and spring roll and went to bed at 6.4 3 hours after eating it (was 8.5 at 1 hour and 7.3 at 2 hours so it was on it's way down). Didn't test before because I had no intention of testing after but curiosity and bravado got the better of me!!
 
That's fantastic Daphne whenever I have a Chinese takeaway I go sky high unless I have seaweed and no rice or noddles. I am OK with home made Chinese and I little rice unless its brown rice, wild rice is also OK for me.
 
6 this morning after I'd got up and seen to cats, laid cooker and lot it and made a brew. It's rubbish M r Ethyl being away.
 
First reading 6.3 but 2 minutes later it was 6.8. I didn't trust the 6.3 after the granola high last night so did it again to validate. Taking comfort from both readings being lower than 7.

That's fine ..... proves a point I guess. Staying under the 7s is great work :)
 
5.7 this morning, which is surprisingly high for me. Could it be the excessese of Friday night catching up with me? Alternatively I bruised my ribs yesterday in a go carting incident (yes, I know - should know better!), can something like this affect levels at all?

Yes it can ...... pain and associated stress does with me. 5.7 is still great but I know your numbers very well and understand why you're disappointed

Thanks pavlovsdog. My yoghurt was Rachel's organic Greek Style coconut at 10.4g carbs per 100g. Tonight I used Morrison's own plain Greek Style at 5.1g per 100g.(but got a much worse reading with the same Granola and frozen berries). I'll give both your suggestions a try. My next yoghurt is Fage Total.at 3.8 per 100g.

I like that Sainsburys one but wth being a big pot I get stuck in with the spoon and find myself halfway down in no time at all so the 5gs turns out to be abt 15. Apple crumble for breakfast with squirty cream like today is even worse. Needed eating up ;) and I am going to be walking two of the dogs...

That's exactly what happens to me, so I buy the little pots - my conscience won't let me open another one if I finish it... :) I like it with blueberries and chia seed.... Let's face it, I like any which way... :p
 
Live dump Neil ?

Morning by the way :) ..... and don't circle those wagons brother :)

Lizzi's Granola is much much better @WeeFergus Jordan's is full of bad sugars and owned by a huge sugar Corp. Not sure if it has palm oil in it either, which is bad if you've Diabetes and are trying to improve Insulin function x Good luck, you will get there :D
Still better to keep to a sprinkling though. Try it before you give up on it x

I've just checked again and Jordan's Granola (at least the one I ate) does have palm oil in it. I'll think about throwing it all out (but I'm Scottish and that doesn't come easily !) so I'll try a sprinkle next time and see what that does.
