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

[nutribolt]

Wow and you actually feel fine not dizzy weak or anything ?

yeah... I even do my workouts as normal. Every body is different though so we tread with caution but in my case perfectly fine.

5.9
Weekly average: 5.7

Be interesting to see what they are next monday...... Tally ho!

Figured I should start posting here instead. I got diagnosed with T2 11 days ago with a FBG of 11.9 and HbA1C of 11%. Been on Metformin since, semi-controlled diet and a 45min workout daily. Low carb, but not no carb.

5.1 this morning. 5.x FBGs for 7 days straight now.

5.8 today. Happy to have a 5
Hugs for the downright annoying ness and frustrations of fbgs higher than they should be. Makes no sense.
@Sugarlisa you’re doing brilliantly.
@nutribolt well done for the continued fasting, it really does seem to be making a difference.

Hello mates,
At a couple of the other forums I've frequented there was a thread like this one where we all sorta checked in each day, with our first cup of coffee or tea, and reported our fasting or waking blood glucose level and some short comment about whether we're ok with it or if not - why not?...

It worked well as a sort of 'first thread to check' each morning and post to.

I'll start.

This morning was a 5.6mmol for me. That's about normal for me

What about you?

A 3.7 this morning on getting up. Time for a quick breakfast.

@Ymdawd hope you’re ok at that low number?

I am claiming the 5.5 today.

I really needed your humour today- I really did. Thank you.

I'm feeling pleased with myself today because yesterday my BG was 6.4 - a bit high for me as I try to keep it at 6.0 or less. I ate carefully yesterday and this morning it's 5.4! I was surprised because I didn't have much physical activity - just a short walk.

I am type 2 in remission which I manage without medication.

Hello @Tracylee24 . Welcome if you are joining us.

Well, give yourself a duvet day. I gave myself a duvet fortnight with my recent cold. I guess I have always been a bit self indulgent.
I also made ‘porrige’ with coconut flour, ground almonds and coconut milk. It hit the spot.
In view of the topic for this thread, I add that my BG levels were raised in the mornings of my recent cold, but levelled out during the day.
