What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

[Paul3613]

5.8 this am.
About 2 months ago I had infected cyst on my neck that would not heal & my levels were high, so I increased my dose of Metformin from 1 x 500mgXR a day to 2 a day, & began to eat more sensibly. After talking with my doctor and chemist I have gone back to 1 tablet a day. It's only been 4 days so it's to early to tell, my doctor said give it a couple of weeks to see if they go up. Has anyone else tried this before & what were your results?

Yes, I just reduced back down to 2 x 500mgXR from 2 X1000 mg. Do you know how to answer a private message? I just sent you one.

91 or 5.1 at 5pm, 15 minutes walking just prior

If you take a fasting reading after you have gone for a walk but before you have eaten it will show a higher reading. My doctor told me that your body, I think it's the liver, but not 100% sure, converts fat into sugars to give your body the energy you need to go for your walk.
One morning I forgot to take my reading & went to the shopping centre for a couple of hours. I took the reading when I got home but before breakfast & it was 8 my average reading is 6.3. Have a happy day, Paul..

Thanks Paul. That's the lowest number I have had in quite a while but I am not going to increase my Metformin again unless I have to. I am trying to lose a little weight and do a little more exercise to keep my numbers down.
