Type 2s: What was your fasting blood glucose in a morning? (very low chat level)

[Debmcgee]

Really annoyed. 6.7 . I fasted 24hrs and only had chicken salad for dinner. Yesterday was 6.1. Really annoyed

Keep your chin up. A 6.1 is still within the normal range, you are doing really well.

Have you ever experience high ketone while your BGL is on normal level?
I have done quite a lot of reading and mostly can find only high ketone related to type 1.
I am a type 2 and the only internet reference I can find is that LCHF might cause this.
Is it dangerous? Mine is atm on very high level.

Thanks for encouragement @Mbaker

Cheers,
Aini

Ketones are good for t2. T1s have to worry about them, we do not. It's a sign your body is using fat stores to function and therefore helping with weightloss.

6.1 for someone who's new to this is amazing. Look at what you're eating and trim back on more carbs if you can.

Thanks for this! I am feeling more relieved now knowing that it is not something dangerous. I am doing my best to trim carbs. I have already cut off rice, pasta, bread completely out of my life for the last month.

Hard butttt feeling healthier

I wish to improve day by day xx

[debrasue]

Stressed out with very high ketone level result found yesterday :/
My evening was a horror story of searching on internet of DKA. Scary stuff.
But I was a fool, doing that - only adding stress to my system.
As a result, BGL rose quite significantly and waking up today with 6.1 :'(
Duh, back to where I was again.
But I am not seeing this as a failure.
I try to remind myself it is a marathon rather than a sprint.
Thank you for your encouragement Debra!

There's so much to learn and this is just my second month
I want a huge bowl of chocolate ice cream with double choco sauce on it!
Yum!

*cries*

I'll reply to this in 'Type 2 Life' thread shortly... Hugs xx

Depends what you break ypur fast with!!! Some of them take loads of sugary things (vimto sales rise during ramadan lol) i on the other hand low carb eating a salad and a soup. Today is a spanish seafood stew and stuffed peppers. I make a good chocolate mousse from 90% chocolate which doesnt effect my bgl and eat seaweed as a snack (why irish woman are beautiful).

I struggle with bgl tbh my body seems to be more intollerant to carbs than most

Our chinese takeaway seaweed is fried cabbage. Seaweed contains kelp. Kelp used to be used for thyroid disorders.
You are doing fantastic! An inspiration.

fbg 5.7today

 

[ickihun]

Fbg 7.3 due to carb treats yesterday and 22units of insulin.
I'm feeling like I'm half way there so very optimistic. Ive relaxed my severe lchf and I'm more of a pleasure to be around. I like myself again. I was punishing myself unnecessarily!
Good job I know my body better.

Good. Morning, happy to be at 5.8 FBG. Even had 2 x Chicken Kiev last night - posh Charlie Biigham ones, around 20g of carbs in total.

Happy Saturday
