    Type 2s: What was your fasting blood glucose in a morning? (very low chat level)

    3.8 this morning - too low! My dinner consisted of dairy ice cream (12g of sugar and very nice!) at approximately 9pm and some cheese later on, washed down by creamy coffee. Was surprised at this level this morning, considering that I didn't manage to take my Gliclizade until 10pm (courtesy of...

    Type 2s: What was your fasting blood glucose in a morning? (very low chat level)

    4.8 this morning, and considering I had a wholemeal bun quite late yesterday evening was not bad. Bread is definitely my kryptonite so I usually keep away from it later in the day. Off to the theatre tonight - and if you think I'm not having ice cream you can so think again! Yum yum. Full...

    Type 2s: What was your fasting blood glucose in a morning? (very low chat level)

    4.6 this morning - despite having a few potatoes last night for Sunday dinner. No bread seems to make the difference with me - 3 bread rolls on Saturday and my BS on Sunday was 5.9. Bread seems to be my definite bugbear.

    Pregnant: GD - Advise on improving fasting BG

    I'd agree with the above - my BS is always up when I have had carbs late on. I tend to stick to high protein for my evening meal and keep the carbs I have in the day for breakfast and lunch.

    Type 2s: What was your fasting blood glucose in a morning? (very low chat level)

    4.6 this morning (I wouldn't like to think what it is right now after eating an egg custard - she says, burying her head in sand!) Oops - chicken salad for dinner to make up for my naughtiness. Good job I have the forum to rely on, my appointment with the dietician on Monday has now been...

    Nuts

    Walnuts are good - just remember not to eat too many - a small handful so as not to detail any weight loss. Any good for increasing the insulin sensitivity of the pancreas. So, win, win! Welcome to the forum.

    I've still got my cold

    Garlic is a good one.

    Thankfully back to normal this morning - 4.2 (following a dinner of scrambled eggs and ham last night).

    Depressed Yet Again

    I've got to have my review in a couple of weeks time - my last HBAC1 was 7.0 so I'm hoping with the LCHC I've been doing, it will have improved since my last test nearly 2 months ago. Here's hoping!

    Coughs & Colds

    Its all to do with the liver putting out glucose in order to fight the infection/cold. I think my morning level went up to about 12 when I was starting a cold. Find some garlic pearls - they tend to help to knock a cold on the head (as well as warding off vampires!)

    Low Carb Doctor Silenced ! Gary Fettke Becomes Australia's Tim Noakes

    I find it interesting that the ones who started the ball rolling were the dieticians in the first place! They don't like having their toes trodden on do they? It all amounts to a witch hunt which the authorities decided to use to their advantage to try to put someone down.

    Depressed Yet Again

    No don't feel like that. Everyone is individual and your numbers have improved - you are down from 8.2 to 5.5, and from 192 to 111. The point is your numbers are going down, admittedly a bit slower than you would likely have liked, but the important thing is they are doing so. Keep going and...

    An improved 5.7 today (I had wholemeal bread last night). Could do better!

    Type 2s: What was your fasting blood glucose in a morning? (very low chat level)

    An awful 7.0 (for me anyway) following a late dinner at the parents (steak and kidney pie - from scratch no less! and 4 small potatoes). Plus no exercise on Sunday and about 5 hours sleep). Bah humbug! :( Must do better today.
