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

    Thanks. Trying hard. Exercise and lower carbs. Probably not low enough on carbs. Not sure how you guys measure but I just try and leave out the obvious. Anyway, back to thread.

    Morning all, Hmm. 6.4 before bed last night. 8.4 this morning. Determined not to start any meds for as long as possible. Going to have a doubly creamy coffee with cinnamon. Lovely!

    Dawn phenomenon - is it really 02:00 - 08:00?

    That's interesting ickihun. Are you saying then eat fats first thing in the morning to lower BS? I will try it tomorrow anyway. Interesting too. After my pet scan, my thyroid was lit up like a Christmas tree. Seeing an endocrinologist next week.

    Dawn phenomenon - is it really 02:00 - 08:00?

    Same here daisyduck. When I was first diagnosed I went straight to lchf way of eating and all was fine but it seems to have started up again. Not to the same degree, thank goodness, but it disrupts my sleep. We have supper about 6pm so quite early I think. Nothing to eat then until my first...

    HUGE NEWS! PLEASE READ!!

    Sounds promising. And a huge relief to all that finger pricking. Maybe competition for the expensive Libre which a lot of folk can't afford. Let's wait and see.

    Reverse T2

    By reversed I mean that you can eat carbs that you could not before, or are you still carb counting to keep blood sugars low. In my case I do not want to lose weight but just keep blood sugar low so it's a bit of a balance.

    Reverse T2

    Whats the best way to reduce BG levels

    You are probably right Resurgam. It's trying to choose what is best low carb to eat from the menu. Better tonight though. 7.5. Still on hols so reliant on restaurant menu. Work in progress.

    Whats the best way to reduce BG levels

    Well I thought I had a low carb meal when we went out last night. Parma ham with coleslaw, sea bream with creamy celeriac and green beans. Full fat milky coffee to finish off with. Two hours after 8.7! I suppose I could stop eating altogether, that would certainly bring it down. But fed up...

    Type 2 Blood sugar rising

    Hi AndBreathe, I took your advice and measured BG before bed it was 7.4. - a few weeks ago it would have been in the high 6s. - 2am it was 8.4! And at 6.30 8.7! These are all high for me but worryingly becoming the norm. My diet has not changed. Last night I ate chicken, cabbage,courgettes and...

    Type 2 Blood sugar rising

    Happy and healthy new year everyone! I may do the same as you Diabell, if I get no joy from the doctors, and get my tests done privately. Just for peace of mind. Like AndBreathe, I do not want to lose more weight so will eat more fat hoping my cholesterol stays as it is. I am literally down...
