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

[MosheBenYehuda]

Late again, in the middle of another 13hrs shift, which follows the yesterday, similar one:-/
A surprising and unpleasant 6.3 this morning after 6.4 before bed. Surprising, because last meal was yesterday around 5pm at work, but light, mainly proteins and fat:|
Anyone to explain, please:-o

5.3 today, walking the Race for Life 5K later

Walk completed in just over an hour - BG at the end was 4.0 I've never seen it that low Chuffed to smithereens, thanks to everyone for their support!

Hola

5.9 fasting. Huff as opposed to a chuff. Very undignified exit from the fat fast as I won the bottle of wine in the ode to Europe competition on the ff thread so will have to rummage in the bins later to find the incriminating evidence!

Thanks for doing the ff with me @Merrylizard1314 and hope you are enjoying your roast lamb today. We were runners up in the racketball comp to the worthy winners. Hey ho.

On the plus side just closed my just giving page for the Brighton marathon last year with a shave over a grand raised for the nspcc...and just opened a new page as have decided to run from london to brighton next year! Idiot that's 100 km to do. Oh well first donation received so no turning back now.

4.8

I just used the last strip I had and I think it's time to stop testing as my type 2 appears to be well reversed. Good luck to all of you!

Fasting result is the only decent one at the moment. Since becoming pregnant ive been unable to control my sugars.. even low carbing, so im on insulin at night due to high fasting results and now possibly looking at the day time too

5.6 this morning and been 8/9 for the rest of the day.

Most of the people on here with readings below 6 shouldn't be testing, my last reading was 27.4, this after 24 units of rapid acting Insulin and 100 units of long acting insulin the previous night. I don't feel unwell, my cholesterol is 3.1, BP 120/68 my HB1c is 11.

8.8 for me this am, can't decide if had a massive liver dump or because 30 minutes later then when i take my metformin. Had low carb sausages and an apple for brekkie, 3 hrs later 7.2!

Maybe try zero carb sausages and skip the apple?

There's no harm in testing. Many pay for their own strips. Mine are payed through private health insurance.

Speaking personally, I return results below 6 because I test. Admittedly, for T2s, once control is good, and provided the individual isn't on insulin or drugs known to significantly lower blood sugars, those who choose to do so can ease up on testing a bit.

@Baruney - What was in particular that you liked about treefrog's post?

Nothing apart from an open mind and a willingness to hear other people's point of view no matter how moronic they may be.

Hope they can get you both sorted. How many weeks are you?

Hola hunky

Surely you know my humour by now. Sometimes that is lost without tone. We have the option to 'like'. I could suggest a number of different tags that the powers that be would probably struggle win.

If they didn't test then how would they know the result they would get if they did test would indicate that they shouldn't test?

It's a choice and if someone chooses to test then that is their right and who are you to judge otherwise?

You're free to have that opinion and I will defend your right to have that opinion but, likewise, I'm free to have a difference of opinion ...

73 mg/dl 4.055 mmoles/l.To test is best, better safe than sorry. A bit like holding on to the sterling .
