8.7...whoop whoop...back in single figures
Its for both...I'm type 1 but have been posting here for months...seems to be a good mix of bothHello is this thread for type 1 or Type 2 or both? I only ask as I've just found another thread but it says type 2.
Someone I met at a recent diabetes meet had a freestyle libre and had noticed that as soon as his feet hit the floor in the morning that his BS jumped up along with him. I've not put this theory to the test myself though. Assuming you wash before going to bed...it's unlikely that you'll have anything too sweet and sticky on your hands when you wake...alternatively you could use an alcohol based wipe before testingAlso, does washing hands make a big difference, or should I just test literally before jumping out of bed?!
Are you low carbing? As a type 1 following LCHF...I also need to inject for protein...maybe worth reducing proteins a little to see if that has an effect on your BSSpent the weekend on a stag do. grillstock festival and zorb footballing! My first stag sober. Lot of fun and meat! Was 6.4 fasting this morning. Lowest it's been since I was diagnosed. Can't seem to get below 6 though. Do you think it's because it's still early days? I'm on 500mg metaformin. Ta
Thanks Natalie. Yeah I guess I'm low carbing. I've lost 10lb in three weeks now. I typically have Greek fat free yoghurt for breakfast, and salad for lunch with chicken or tuna. Then stir fry or chicken and sweet potato fries for dinner. I try to avoid food after 7pm. Hopefully my levels will come down a bit more. During the day they are always well in the recommended ranges. It's just the morning one that's a bit high! I don't think it's dangerously high, but I'd still like to see it lower. My fasting was 12 when diagnosed so it's nearly halved in 3 weeks.Are you low carbing?
