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

[ianpspurs]

Morning all
Rainy and grotty here to suit my mood:
bg 6.5 I seem to be on an unexplaiable upward trend.

Is a hug needed? Our bg related view of the world seems to work as though we are seesawing each other

Happy Sunday despite the rain
Well who’d of thunk it, 5.6 at midnight when I was going to bed and giving in to the munchies and eating LivLife toast with peanut butter
it’s 5.6 this morning too

Great news on fbg level @jayney27 clearly your body was messaging you. Sometimes the messages fall victim to predictive body text though so it is not infallible

7.1 this morning.

Good morning all 6.5 for me this morning. Bit higher than normal but feeding for another fast so don't mind. Have a good day everyone.

5.5 This am. I'm praising God for that as i haven't had below 6 for quite awhile. Hugs to you @ianpspurs but you have done so very well ever since i have been in this forum. Maybe it's just a hiccup do you think?

Hugs always welcome thanks.
Yes, the seesawing is strange isn’t it? But then so much of this condition is strange. Don’t think I’ll ever understand it fully.

Thought I had a hypo in the night although highly unlikely now as I am not on insulin any more. Was sweating absolutely hugely but when I finally managed to get out of bed BS was 6. Weird because symptoms very similar. The headache is only now going. 5.5 when I tested at 7am.

Good to hear that you are not on insulin any more.I was taken off for 4 weeks and replaced by the tab lets ( Gliclazide for MODY type )but sadly it didn't work . Keep your routines going.
Best wishes.

5.6 this morning, another strange day, feeling like my heads under water and my leg seems more painful than usual but then again that's not unusual which is usually the case, or not, but sometimes. My waddle was wet and shoogly but I got to where I was going and then made it back.

Sorry to hear that the tablets didn't work. I was on Novarapid and Lantus and although I have to keep to 20g carbs max I love the food and have worked out which of the good carbs spike my BS. I would like a lower Hb1Ac - it hovers between 42 and 44 but it was 125 when diagnosed so I should be happy it has come down that much. Am keeping my 'fingers crossed' that Keto/Low Carb will keep on working - but only time will tell.. Am doing Intermittent Fasting also.

My HAb1c 8 weeks ago was 9.0%.I inject in the the evening only (Lantus 4- 6 units). To me, I am doing my best on diet and exercises . Oh..I am due for walk now (after meal) although it's still raining.
Have a good Sunday evening.

5.1 today - but cycling is doing wonders. Check out https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/t2-cycling-lchf.154218/ for some detail about this. There are only 4 or 5 posts in the thread and it's the last one that gives some detail about today.

5.1 at 5:10 am.

It rained for the first time for a couple of months, 13 mm of rain came down and laid the dust out of the air. Makes my breathing easier for a few days.

6.5 this am

I also find a walk after each meal helps to lower after meal spikes. I was injecting Lantus 10 to 20 units and 5 to 7 Novorapid after each meal when I was following the advice to eat lots of starchy carbs with each meal. This dropped dramatically the lower carb I went.

Good morning and happy weekend everyone. 5.1 fbs for me.

Hi Keesha,

Are you from Singapore?

I lived in the Far East for many years.
