5.2 this morning, its almost like running later gives me a lower FBG. Early days yet but I feel some experimentation coming on.

I use these things , they come up slightly lower than the GP tests if done almost at same time. I found some on Amazon a while ago that worked out at about £10 a test. I put link on this site somewhere, I’ll see if I can find it later.

5.8 at 0550. I tried the BG checks before and after a non fasted run yesterday (first time ever) 9.4 before 4.8 after, retested after just to be sure and within 0.1. Odd that it goes up when fasted and seemingly down a lot when not. More reading to do.

5.9 this morning at 0820, and that is after Fish and Chips from the local chip shop yesterday evening. First time under 6 since 21 July, but we did have the wedding and then two weeks away in Tenerife in amongst all of that. Perhaps it’s luck, perhaps it’s because I am running more now the...

6.3 at 0900. Went for a run, did 6k new PB for 5k 27:47, so happy boy. Further tested BG whilst still fasting immediately after run ,9.4 tested twice just in case.

Your story is similar to mine history wise, I started running and up to now I’ve lost 4 stone since last August and I am just about to come off Metformin, all my HbA1c figures this year have been normal. I listened to an audiobook called “The Diabetes Code” by Dr Jason Fung, some of his...

No they don’t, I thought they would when I first started , but they always seem to rise by about 1.2-1.3 after running. I always run having fasted overnight , I was 6.4 at 0300 , 6.9 at 0800 and 8.2 after 3.6k this morning as an example.

6.5 this morning, 6.6 yesterday. Ran 2.5k only this morning as on the early shift.

Could also be that the only response that seems available in the App is a Like rather than all the others.

6.4 this morning, and after an indulgent afternoon in holiday 6.3 this evening. I can only assume the weight loss has made such a massive difference that my body is behaving virtually normally at the moment. I’ll be retesting over the next few hours to see.

6.4 today. 10k run done by 0745, off to favourite coffee shop this morning for breakfast. Have a great weekend folks.

6.4 at 0630. Diabetic nurse agrees I can stop the Metformin , after 9 months on it. More here https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/index.php?posts/2425762/

3 photos, the first two are exactly a year apart to the minute , 3 stone lighter and a body that is convinced that it’s no longer diabetic. 3rd photo shows the weight loss better after a run on the same morning. Diabetic nurse agrees and we are stopping the Metformin 9 months after I first...

6.2 this morning, despite not eating until late last due work and a late shift. Exercise bike done for the day. Now back to the chaos.

6.6 today, beautiful day folks, have a great one. Off into the garage to get some exercise done.

Morning folks, 6.2 this morning for me, thanks for the kind comments above. No running today, but into the garage for some upper body strength training, some would say I’ve become addicted.

HbA1c now 41 after 3 months on reduced dose of Metformin and slightly less disciplined eating. Happy with that.

7.2 this morning, but got married yesterday so was not exactly a good boy with respect to eating, I’ll take that FBG as a result. Back to running reasonably normally , did an acceptable 6k yesterday. HbA1c last week 41 , looks like I’ll be stopping the Metformin in the next two weeks. Happy...

6.0 at 0600 yesterday, tried running leg back to being unhappy with running so did 25 minutes on bike. 5.3 this morning , hitting weights now to maintain some exercise while resting the errant leg from running for two weeks [emoji22]

5.8 this morning at 05:00. Called in for an early shift as one of our guys has caught COVID. Strength training this morning, back to running tomorrow.
