You'll get there eventually Diana, you're doing all the right things.
Thank you Rod. I believe you, but God, its slow! March to November and I still can't get below a 6...
I always look forward to seeing your avatar by the way ...
Why, thankyou! My first attempt at a selfie...... @Scandichic made me do it...
5.8 again here.
After having an early dinner yesterday, and then getting hungry again whilst watching a film at 2130 we shared a frozen pizza. Three slices and medium glass of red. Woke up this morning to 5.2.....I was expecting something in the 7's after late carbs.....go figure!
Hi @EveryCloudMine was 10.8 today - fasting... Doesn't seem to matter what I do! I think I will be injecting soon... Grrr...
Hi @EveryCloud, don't get disheartened. Don't know when you were diagnosed but see you joined the forums in October. You'll find lots of friendly folks and lots of sound advice on here. I'm pre-diabetic and joined the forum/read the website as soon as I was diagnosed. If you add a signature to your profile that includes what meds you are on (if any) and what your HbA1c was (if you know it) then it will be easier for folks to give you more meaningful suggestions than just on results alone. Do you test pre- and post- meals (at 2hrs post) this will give you an idea of of how each food spikes you (raises your blood sugar)? Working on a fasting blood sugar reading doesn't really tell you much about how the food you are eating affects you. Many of the "regulars" on here have great results during the daytime but still highs fasting. Read up on the Dawn Phenomenon/ liver dumps - sorry can't link you to it cos I've not actually read it on the website but I'm sure it will come up with a search.Mine was 10.8 today - fasting...

6.3 this morning, then 7.1 after breakfast...that's high for me.
If you read back in the thread there are quite a few of us that as the daytime figures get better the fasting ones seem to go to pot - lot of discussion how/why but the most frequent is the Dawn Phenomenon/ liver dump issue6.3 this morning, then 7.1 after breakfast...that's high for me.

Do not despair
Hope this helps

Used to use the lie back bike when I went to the gym - the normal sit up and beg type hurt my knees and back something rotten but the recumbent (to use your posh word ) was really good to use.5.5 back to my normal morning readings, oh well work beckons and hopefully delivery of my new exercise bike. Have got severely fed up using my good ladies Health Rider so have invested in a recumbent exercise bike. Now that winter is kicking in will be using this as the walking will be curtailed somewhat.
Have a good day everyone.
Consistent and under those dreaded double figures again now. How are you feeling? Hope your body is back on a even keel now since the jab - wasn't flu jab: pneumonia jab?8.1 again
Early days - keep learning, keep reading, keep with us and welcome14.3
Don't get disheartened - stay with us - lots of support here . I'm learning all the time, we never stop learning.No idea, I did have tomato soup at 29g of carbs, but that was like 16 hours previously. Also I've put on weight *shock * when you consider im approximately 4k calories less per week than before I started this. Probably just a blip. But it's disheartening when I'm trying so hard to lose weight and be good. Not an ideal start to my week.
*Big sigh*
