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

[ickihun]

You've had a bad start to the day, and from the sound of it you handled it and sorted the problems. Now you need to cut yourself some slack, do something for you. I don't know much about diabetes but from the little I do know a de stress would do you good. Could anyone childmind for a bit so that you can unwind. Sending you hugs . I have seen your support of others, just wish I had the right words for you xxx

I'm ok now but totally agree I need to float away in a swimming pool, even just for a few minutes. Swimming/floating is planned this month.

Forgot to post yesterdays - 5.4 at 7.40 am (had been 5.9 at 11.25 pm, took 3 units of Levemir).

This morning was 6.4 at 8.30 am - had been 5.9 at 11.50 pm, but I reduced my Levemir to 2 units.

First time for over four weeks that I've been over 5.9 - will have to see how it goes for the next few days.

Maybe 7s with no basal? I could live with that but how are other bgs showing?

What a lovely plan. Enjoy your float. Hope all is well.

Other levels are fine - see https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/reducing-insulin-injections.132481/#post-1687347

Sorry to hear about your issues - hope everything settles down quickly and you can get some floating in.

Maybe eat less carbs and exercise and build more muscles ,fasting is also helpful like only eating in a timewindow of 7-8 hours a day like from 11 -19 o”clock
