6.2 - better than yesterdays 7.4 :)

So im still fairly new to all of this - Diagnosed at the back end of june with a HBA1C of 114/125 (either side of a weekend) Background. Exercise and diet have got me down to a healthier 45 after about 3.5 months and a massive reduction in finger prick readings from high teens to the 5-7...

Paul - i reckon you are on the money - liver feels i am going to starve (not much chance) and is dumping as much glucose as possible - however i do think that in the absence of food this glucose has got to come from visceral fat stores - maybe a higher BG reading is therefore not a bad thing :)

6.5

i suppose i was expecting a gradual decline to around the 5 mark - was just curious to why today it has stayed up post the usual liver dump Thanks for the perspective on accuracy of the B meter

Morning - quick question for those with more experience than me. I try to do 48 hour fast once a month - currently about 37 hours in to Octobers Before the fast my BG (finger prick) was 6 (sunday 8pm) Yesterday it fell slowly throughout the day as the fast progressed bottoming out at 5.2...

5.9 mmol

Welcome to the forums and nice to meet you. The general advice would be to test first thing in the morning before you eat - Fasting glucose levels - but be warned this can appear quite high due to the 'Dawn bump' - Liver releasing glucose to 'get you going' first thing. Testing around meals...

Thank you Cant deny there is a craving for just a little bit of chocolate....... however the next three months are going to be the hardest I'll keep you posted

So i was diagnosed as diabetic back at the end of June (28th) - usual symptoms - getting up in the middle of the night, sugar cravings and crashes etc. Bought myself a finger prick test kit and had a reading of 19.4. 2 days later my HBA1c was an interesting 125 and then 114 (test either side of...

So Results today from my 3 month ish HBA1C - 45mmol/mol Chuffed to bits - more work to do though

Quick Question for the forum Been at the ULC diet and exercise for 3 months - my mid morning, mid afternoon and evening BG levels are coming down and average about 5.5-6.5 However i have seen an interesting gradual creeping up of my fasting BG first thing in the morning month 1 was 7.5-10 month...

i have had similar symptoms (and a similar result after three months of low carb) and would be interested in any further insights anyone might have

I agree with everything said above - and like you started off trying to set 'hard timelines' - i.e. by this number of weeks i will have achieved this or that. Remission in the NHS is broadly defined as an HbA1C below 48mmol/mol on two separate tests at least 6 months apart - without medication...
