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

[Happyhomelands]

Not sure about long term. Today is about dropping glucose and weight as quickly as is safe. I'm hoping to be less drastic once it's under control. Perhaps the 2 5 thing. It's proving very difficult to drop weight though.

@ally1 I gave you a hug this morning as could not do a hug and a star because I think every one needs a hug now and then.

But I also have witnessed your battle over many months you are a star and no question about that.

Update from earlier - lifetime ambition achieved! I swam one length of swimming pool at ripe old age of 62. All part of changing lifestyle to deal with potential nasties my bad choices and or genetics have opened me to. Loving the support on here both for myself and those like ally1.

10.4 today, I know why, last night I treated myself to fish, chips and curry sauce, the first potatoes since last October, back on the low carbo diet today, but feel like I am losing the fight, I quit gliclizide last October, but think I should restart, I have been very strict on the diet, and have lost a lot of weight, but my numbers are rarely below 7. I had to quit using cream, it was slowing my weight loss. I just don't know what more I can do, perhaps I was to heavy to start with, but I have lost 6 stone, my hopes were up for a better result, but it seems out of reach,

I can't help with diabetes management as I m too new, however your weight loss is fantastic and must be helpful your sugars. You've had a blip with eating, now get back to your healthy habits. Don't give up now. You really don't want to go backwards. A treat now and again seems OK to me. I'm sure you'll get some good advice about gliclizide on the forum but please don't beat yourself up.

That is brilliant. Perhaps the advice of Mr W Churchill esq would be appropriate for your good self and all of us here "keep buggering on" In the nicest possible sense of course.

Think carefully before restarting Glic, this will just burn out your beta cells more. How about posting in a new thread your regime and asking for suggestions.

I am on 100mg metformin and victoza

Thank you for replying I was on metformin but decided to come off it and tackle BS with diet I get the numbers down during the day but night time and early morning are higher. I have started to engage with the forum and finding everyone very helpful and supportive thanks
