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

[hanham97]

8.6 pre breakfast and 10.00 2 hours after first meal.

God knows - I was using a Freestyle Libre - its so **** (IN MY OPINION) bordering on a scam(IN MY OPINION)

Last sensors where
1) Broken - readings over 2 hours droped in a line from 6MMOL to 1MMOL (abbot replaced it) oh joy!
2) Ok'ish for 5 days - but last 9 days flat lined on 4MMOL
3) Reads 2 MMOL to high and its very suceptable to movement of my arm :¬(

Never pricked my fingers so much since getting (and SMASHING IT UP).
This is rubbish tech - Be careful people - its your life

OK rant over proper reading was 5.4 on waking (2 meters 3 strip per meter average)

The 2 sensors I used worked ok.

Thinking maybe a few too many carbs for breakfast (especially as you were already at 8.6) what did you have?

Get yourself tucked up in bed early tonight then..... Olbas oil on a tissue by the bed...... hot lemon drink, paracetamol and maybe a touch of whisky.....

 

[Robbity]

Had two of those today too. 5.3 pre and post breakfast can't remember what dinner was now but also a flatline

I can stay pretty level if my readings are on the high side, but no joy if I get down to low 6s let alone 5s. I sometimes think my body must be happy at these higher levels - but I'm certainly not!

So well done you!

Bet that made you happy...

Did 5.6 miles brisk walking this afternoon, in less than an hour 370 calories according to this new app I'm trying. 6,600 steps, too.

You may find you get more pleasing results if you alternate fast and medium pace throughout the time. I have found that this does not usually result in that higher reading after exercise that I used to get when going gung-ho at the same brisk pace for the whole hour or so that I was walking.
Well done, for exercising anyway. Got to be better than not!

Day34 ND 4.6 another splendiferous morning!

You are right about the Freestyle rubbish M... I was forced to buy one of their meters once and the readings were so high my husband threw it in the bin with all the strips, because I was so upset at the numbers... horrid things.... but who can you report them to?
