Morning all.
This is me -Type 2 on no meds, about 9 years from diagnosis and a bmi of 25.2. Haven't had a HbA1c for ages. Generally bumble along with fasting bloods a little too high. Work has been stressful of late and there's been a lot of group comfort eating of home baked cakes. Fasting bloods have crept up to silly levels so I decided action was needed. On waking this morning my bm was 12.2. Hauled myself out of bed and went to the pool. Swam 500m which took about 25 minutes (I'm too slow for the slow lane - they all lapped me more than once!). Got home, had my shower and thought I'd test my blood again to get a virtuous glow as it was bound to have gone down.
Wrong. It was 13.3.
Why would this be seeing as I still haven't had anything to eat or drink?
