In case anyone is wondering how quickly blood glucose (as measured on a monitor) can fall, on July 20 before going to bed, I was at 13.0. Nine days later, just now, 8.1. I have had less than 30g of carbohydrates every day since. So blood glucose can be lowered quite quickly. I previously didn't like using the BG monitor, but I now realise you can't manage diabetes without checking it every day. I think 7.0 is considered the diabetes level, so I want to see if I can get this below 7 over the next week. I also track fasting blood glucose when I wake up, but those figures are not compatible with my shock reading of 13.0, because I got that before going to bed. I've finally weaned myself onto black coffee, which was a wrench.
