What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

[clearviews]

Nice one wiflib!
Mine was 5.1 with a steak and veg dinner and quite a lot of pistachios afterwards.

Thanks CV.

Since VLC, I've seen improvements even on my normally low fastings anyway. I've even noticed that my daily metformin tablet makes me feel a bit rough with readings that low. I'd give it up but it's my psychological crutch!

Two huge advantages of VLC for me;
1. far easier to resist the occasional carb craving
2. I'm finally cracking the last bit of weight loss
Disadvantage - those blimmin' leg cramps!

6.3 at 08:30. I can definitely state, in my case at least, that drinking more than 3 glasses of wine on a night puts my fasting levels up next morning! It might be that I have an alcohol-induced hypo while asleep and my liver dumps to compensate.

I can live without it. Maybe I'll give it up :shock: :lol: It certainly aggravates my muscle pains, which must be the inflammatory effect - so what is it doing to my pancreas? Sigh!

Odd week for me as I have been adjusting insulin to cope with a random change in my sensitivity.. What a strange thing bodies can be?!

Readings were 4.2 mmol/l before breakfast and then 4.3 mmol/l just before lunch so am pleased with those.. just got to keep a close eye on those levels!

 

[omer dalors]

Here is my reading for today:

Fasting 9.5

 

[RussG]

Hi all,

7.2 for me (despite running five miles last night!) but 3.9 before lunch so I may have to stop my morning levemir.

Omer - those readings look like they're coming down.

Afternoon all.

 

[Sanober]

14.4 fasting (day 5 post Laproscopy and removal of endometriosis/cyst)

My readings have been coming in at 18 / 19 at times the last two days- I've got a doc appointment today AT 10:10AM get checked over - for infection presumably)

Symptoms: spaced out and tired, mega loo trips/thirst two episodes of being overly warm/slight sweat yesterday. But no obvious signs to me that there's anything out of the ordinary.

My husband said thank god I bought my self a meter and was angry that T2s are being denied meters and/or strips. So thanks to folk on Diabetes Forum!

I hope the doctor can help Sanober. I don't know what I'd do without my monitor. I'd not have been able to get my levels down. I think it is ridiculous that Type 2 diabetics are being denied them. I only got mine because I'd had a stroke and even then the diabetic nurse whined at my last appointment that she should not have given it to me. I told her that I would have brought one anyway as how on earth can you be expected to manage this condition without one.

5.4 fasting.

5.5 two-hours post-breakfast
