Hello again,
I'm Dutch, and I have to agree with you: this is an excellent place for information, and actual global input. The Dutch forums are very hopeless and depressing, and they are rather behind the times. Not this joint!
I have to convert your blood sugars a little because my machine measures in mmol/l rather than mg/dl, which is what yours is doing. I have to say, why are you sad about the 130 to 150? It's the higher side of normal, yes, but still within the non-diabetic range. I have to ask: did you get a flu vaccine recently? It always ups my blood sugar levels for one to two weeks, and then they come down again. Also, if you're ill, sleeping badly (nightmares or interrupted sleep, insomnia) or are stressed, they might go up a little. And these are indeed stressful times. There's also been accounts from T2's who had Covid-19 who had a little trouble getting their blood sugars back under control for months afterwards... There are so many things that influence what our glucose levels do, so please... Don't be discouraged. You're doing pretty good. The daily runs might also up blood glucose a little, as with strenuous exercise, our liver tends to dump a little glucose into our systems to "help". Walking, however, is a very, very good option, where a dump doesn't usually happen.
Next time you test your fasting blood sugars, do it the moment you open your eyes. have your device on your nightstand. We all get a morning glucose dump (Dawn Phenomenon), and it'll be worse for some the moment they get up out of bed and walk around. It's called Foot-on-the-Floor, so maybe your numbers will be better if you check them sooner. Also, you've cut pizza, pasta, rice, sugar and bread... Which is excellent. What are you eating now? Maybe there's hidden carbs here or there that might still be replaced or eliminated.
Good luck,
Jo
