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

    FBG 6.2 this morning. I want to thank you all. That is the best FBG I have seen for many years, and it's been like that for a week! I don't usually have a lot to say, but thanks to your assistance I have been able to fine tune my diabetes routines and get back to the numbers I want to see but...

    T2 HbA1c results

    55 in June 2023, up from 43 ten years ago, which is what kicked off my renewed interest in diabetes control. Well, that and the brand new retinopathy and cataracts. :blackeye:

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

    FBG 6.6 I have resisted weighing and measuring food and counting carbs for nearly 25 years in favour of a binary system - yes, that's OK, no, I don't eat that. Time for more refinement. I am now researching keto and carb counting. It looks much easier now that I am old and rarely leave the...

    FBG 6.9 Disappointing, after yesterday's day of nearly perfect 5s, but not bad.

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (full on chat)

    The unwellness has passed and I hope to get better numbers now, thank you, Annb. 7.7 is a little higher than my usual these days, and a lot higher than my "once upon a time" levels. However, fasting numbers are the hardest to control, so I guess it's reasonable.

    Remission is good but is DT2 reversible ever?

    Remission, yes. "Cure", no. I was diagnosed in 1996. Once I learned how, I kept my blood sugar mostly within normal parameters through food choices and exercise. ...and then... In 2019, I fell and sprained both needs. My walking routine became impossible for months. As I was healing enough...

    FBG 7.7 Still unwell, but the numbers are better than they were a month ago, so I guess there is that.

    FBG 7.6 Higher than I'd like, but maybe because I am poorly today. (I want back into the 5% club!!!)

    So confused. ,any help would be greatly appreciated. T2

    What kind of physical activity is he doing? How long and how often? I was recently having a similar experience and so I'm back to recalibrate my routines. They worked to control my blood sugar for 23 years, and then suddenly they didn't. I hear/feel your frustration and worry. I'm sorry he...

    - What is your name? Grandma - How old are you? ancient - Which city/area do you live in? Near Melbourne, Victoria (Australia) - Do you have any pets? Well now, that's hard to say. I used to, but my furry fellow, Magnus, died a few years ago. But around that time, we moved house and the new...

    Thank you, gennepher! I am happy to be here! This 6.4 is a real triumph after many months of over 8.5 in the morning. The lower my carb went, the higher my blood sugar went. Bleah. I finally found something that made my readings responsive again, and am reviewing all of my routines. :) I...
