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

Not open for further replies.
Going down.... fasting 5.6 this morning

But going up to this evening to 8.0 before dinner...:wideyed:

If I could just banish afternoons and early evenings I'd end up with fairly decent readings all day...

Generally it seems that I'm often worse off now than I was when I'd only recently started low carbing/testing this time last year.

Ah..just discovered this thread. Hi all. Diagnosed T2 last week, and started testing on Thursday morning. That morning was 20.3, yesterday was 19.0, and this morning 17.1 - so, very encouraging so far.

Hi Alan, well done looking good so far
 
6.5 this morning:( was packing until 8.30 last night then had bacon, cheese and tomato with 2 Staffordshire oatcakes. So that will be the culprit. Not been that high in a morning for a long time. This moving lark is playing havoc with my eating pattern:banghead:

Welcome to the gang! Apart from medication what are you doing diet-wise?

4.7 this morning so made the sub-5 fortnight :)

I'm especially pleased because it was my Daughter's school dinner last night and instead of thinking "I'll have a night off" we spoke to the caterers beforehand and they sorted me out a low carb meal (prawns and smoked salmon with no dressing to start, salmon with a salad for main course and no dessert). I also restricted myself to a couple of glasses of red wine so I'd have been a bit fed up if my run had been broken after doing all that!

That's great progress in a short space of time - well done and welcome :)
 
I've been without test strips for the last 5 days but haven't missed testing a bit!

Its now 11 days since I started Forxiga and this morning's results are.......

Bedtime - 6.4
Fasting - 6.3
 
5.8 this morning after being up and about hslf an hour, I'd gone to wash my hands then did other things before testing! Bedtime was 5.5
Off to the office I go again- still need to catch up with you all on your posts I've missed last couple of days :eek:
 
Not sure this morning - tried in 3 different fingers but could not get enough so gave up and made a cup of tea instead
 
6.8 this am.... looks like it is gonna be a nice day :)sun trying to shine ;)
 
6·0 this morning
Hello everyone, I'm hoping that recording my fasting levels here will be an extra incentive to resist my usual evening urge to have a couple of beers.
