Type 2's: What was your fasting blood glucose in a morning?

[Rose28]

Thanks - I'm actually pretty excited to get this done as I've really got my blood sugars down from my own readings and I'm pretty sure it's going to be reflected in my HbA1c

Good luck Phil. Looking forward to seeing your results

My lowest ever this morning - 4.5 I've got my first HbA1C since I was diagnosed this morning and I'm expecting a far better one than the 107 that led to my diagnosis 3 months ago

Good luck Phil, I'm sure it will be much better news for you

I now feel better after having read this,http://chriskresser.com/when-your-“normal”-blood-sugar-isn’t-normal-part-2

and this , http://high-fat-nutrition.blogspot.co.il/2007/10/physiological-insulin-resistance.html

Those articles were VERY interesting! Thank you so much for the links @Pasha. It's gold nuggets like these which make this forum invaluable. I would probably never have found them on my own!

So who was on the Chris Evans breakfast showing just now saying they are at non-diabetic levels?

Who? Was it you? I missed it.

No, not me. I wish it was me! Someone messaged in. Just wondered if it was someone from here.

5.6 this morning on new batch 61, which is what one of my last few if 44 had me at bedtime so that's about right- i then decided to use up another 44 as a random, same finger, same puncture site.....and it gave 6.4!! Just goes to show how erratic 44 has been!
Btw......wasn't me either! Love my radio but can never quite get into chris- i was a tog in the day and miss him still!!

Hefty 6.5 this morning but it's what I deserve after too many chips and a plateful of protein at pub quiz. And I topped it all off with cheese at bedtime.

7.7 for me this morning... think I'm on a self-destructive path at the moment as I cant seem to stop eating. I am eating all the right things, just in the wrong quantities...hopefully I'll snap out of this dark cloud soon grrrr

Kezzer, you're not alone.. I'm the same, just can't stop eating. Bluetit's right, I think this bitter cold weather doesn't help, just makes me want to eat hot comfort foods. It must be bad.. Lol.. because I can't even face drinking my beloved green smoothies for the last few days

You hang on in there, too! Spring is round the corner.

Before dinner 5.9
Only salad for dinner and reading after 2 hours was 6.1
Fasting 7.1 ?????????????????????????
Did it again 6.9
Did it again 6.8
Washed hands
Did it again 6.8
Frustrated
Took the toothpaste in hand and mixed water to it and tested that
Got a reading Lo
Took a shower and punctured another finger
Came at 6.2
Did it again 6.3
Punctured a third finger
Came at 6.2
Did it again 6.1
So that's that way you lower your blood sugars if you are on batch 44 and also this is how you finish that ****** batch
Unfortunately the side effect of all this is sore fingers, well 3 of them are

@kimbo1962 your post makes me feel so much better.
