    New Diabetic with Type 2 - questions

    Hello, me again. Sorry to pester you all with questions but I feel like I am still learning something every day. After getting my blood meter last week, I have tried to test at least once a day (more if I can remember). This morning when I woke up, I took my fasting amount which was 6.4. Two...

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

    6.4 this morning as soon as I got up. I can only presume the first 4.2 reading I had was an anomoly!

    What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

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

    6.6 this morning which is a bit higher than the last few days. Would it take a day and a bit for a less healthy day of eating to come through?

    What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

    Yesterday was a mixed bag of a day - I had a hotel breakfast of 2 sausages, 2 bacon and scrambled eggs (actually wasn't very nice) with a cup of average coffee. Lunch time, albeit later than I would have liked, was piri piri chicken fillets from Sainso with a salad, pickled egg, gherkin and...

    New Diabetic with Type 2 - questions

    Hello - a quick question for you all. I've been quite busy the last few days, and have sat in the armchair dozing for an hour. Woken up, and I feel very much not myself - concentration gone, feeling a bit shakey etc. Done a meter test following this, and it was at 5.2. I ate at about 8am this...

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

    4.6. I don't know if that is good or if it is because I didn't eat properly yesterday.

    What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

    I was bad yesterday. It was a celebration day for my partner so we went away. Breakfast was a sausage and egg McMuffin. When we stopped, I accidentally had an oat latte which was my own stupid fault. Lunch was a Wetherspoons mixed grill with a handful of chips. Dinner was a bacon cheeseburger...

    Weekly weigh in - Fridays

    I'm lower carbing than before - compared to some people on here, I'm still consuming a good amount of carbs but for someone who lived on rice, pasta, bread etc before being diagnosed, this is a huge step down for me. In time, I will probably reduce it further but right now, I'm just going to...

    What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

    We were doing a boot sale today so started the day off with hemp heart "porridge" or faux-oats with some peanut butter in. Lunch was bacon medallions, sausage meat and fried eggs with a delicious full fat coffee with dinner being homemade shish kebabs with salad and a Bfree pitta pocket which...

    What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

    I prefer eating around certain timescales for routine, more than anything else. For someone who eats breakfast at 6.30, to eat lunch at 2 and then dinner at 6, for instance would really throw me out.

    This morning's weekly weigh in was 23stone, 4 1/4 lbs, from 23st 6lbs last week so further progress, even if it has slowed down a touch

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

    This morning's was higher than yesterdays (6.2) - I don't know if that was because I didn't eat at the normal times yesterday/was up earlier today or whether yesterdays was a blip/reading incorrectly taken.

    What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

    I was bad yesterday, in as much as I didn't eat at set times due to occasions. Breakfast was a two egg omelette with two sausages, followed by a much delayed lunch of 2 sausages, some cheese, half a packet of pork scratchings and half a slice of red velvet birthday cake for one of my best...

    What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

    Yesterday, I had a basic cheese omelette for breakfast at an ungodly hour after a bout of insomnia, and some sausages at a better breakfast hour. Lunch was a classic salad with a tin of mackerel fillets in tomato sauce, followed up by some yoghurt and strawberries and a treat of a Little Moon...
