Will try and reduce carbs further but difficult trying to fit in with family meals. Might add a bit more fasting as that is easier but found it made no difference in the past. Willing to try anything.

Thanks for the advice. I don't understand though why so high 1st AM and last PM even when fasting 2 days with zero carbs or anything else for that matter just prescribed pills. It seems my body is fighting to bring down those end of day highs only to start again at a similar high in the morning...

8.9 this morning, I consider that a result as all yesterday was in double figures.

In a similar situation, I have never daily tested and my GP practice says I have no need to. However my Hb1ac is always around 60 for many years so I have taken it on myself to try and reduce hopefully by daily testing and food monitoring. If I can reduce yearly figure then I hope to get less...

Just the 12.1 this morning after 160g carbs yesterday and light dinner at 1800. More than a little cheesed off, could have stated it much stronger but fear redaction and moderation on here.

8.5 this morning. Run of the mill value.

Hi, thanks for the info. I do take a second reading post breakfast 2 hours later and the result is almost same as pre breakfast or sometimes 1 or 2 m.mols higher. It is often above 8 because I start the day at 9 or 10 on average even before breakfast with carbs previous day around 150g total...

8.4 this morning after 156g carbs yesterday. About average to good BS for me.

Good morning, yes I use My FitnessPal and have started to weigh things wherever I can. My wife thinks I am becoming an OCD obsessive but I am determined to get to grips with lowering blood sugar. However it is proving elusive and not following any pattern so far.

I know the feeling, always seems no logic to some readings.

Back in the day I never really measured carb intake or anything else for that matter. For last 3 weeks been measuring carbs and usually around 150g per day sometimes lower. A bit late to the low carb party.

7.6 this AM before breakfast and pills.

Me too, never sure if this is good or bad but others seem to achieve lower levels. Despite changing eating patterns I don't seem to be able to influence this.

8.0 this morning. Not eaten since 1600 previous day.

Annual review in March 24, Hba1c was 64, for last 4 years always been around 60 mark. Had meal approx 1900. Disappointing today as started quite good for me but got worse before lunch. Really depresses me that readings are not consistent with anything. Beginning to wish I hadn't bothered looking...

1st thing AM, 8.2---Breakfast Mornflake Oats & Lactose free milk. Total 27g carbs. 2 hours later 12.4!!!! Would have been better off with a full english breakfast and alot happier.:(:(

Hi, thanks for response. My meds Alogliptin 12.5mg / Metformin 1g tablets, twice per day with breakfast and evening dinner. Just for interest 7.8 last night and 8.2 this morning before breakfast and tabs. In all honesty one of my better results.

8.9 first thing before bfast. Always high in morning and last thing at night. Can go as high as 13 some nights. Is this cause for concern? Type 2, tablets and trying to maintain low carb and calorie diet.

Hi, my name is Chris, I am a type 2 of about 20 years now and have now decided after all this time to take my diabetes a bit more seriously and thought maybe joining a forum might help. Hopefully sharing stuff and learning from others may be more successful than just measuring my blood sugar and...
