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

[geefull]

good morning all

4.1 today

 

[GeoffersTaylor]

5.0 this morning.
I haven't been testing the last week or so because of an infection. No point wasting strips to tell me that my body's temporarily up the spout! Better now, though.

Glad you are feeling better, also, good advice, I think people may be tempted to test more frequently if they are feeling poorly but you are right, for most of us, feeling under the weather = higher numbers = a bit more stress = even higher numbers = waste of money/strips, I will remember this advice next time and wait until feeling better before resuming testing for myself.

A whopping 6.9 which I think was caused by being up half the night with sickness and diarrhoea

Woop woop, well done, the 4's can be a scary place so be careful out there.

Have you tried almond milk? Works well for me and has less sugar.

ive bought six cartons of morrisons organic unsweetened soy milk so might delay the almond milk trial for a while !
from the carbs and calories book by chris cheyettte and yello balolia.
almond milk 5grams carbs 36 calories,1 g protein,2 g fat
soy milk unsweetened 1 gram carbs 39 calories 4 g protein 2 g fat
both for 150 grams

I have not seen the old aboriginal feller that lived on the land back of the showgrounds, they built a big disaster evacuation centre there. He was a tribal medicine man according to one of his sons.

Maybe vanished by one off his own spells

He was a potion man not a magician.

6.6 at 0500hrs - seems to be my most popular reading. It was the same when I went to bed last night.

Might be ‘whopping’ for you, other people would be glad to have that kind of result.
