I haven't posted here in over 5 years but had to take a look after I saw that posted on Twitter and the penny dropped that the Gliclazide I had been taking was potentially harming my sensitivity to insulin ‍♂️

6.9 yesterday. 7.4 today. I can get good readings throughout the day but mornings are always around this sort of level...

Yes. Off to search for 'liver dump' ;)

Before bed was 6.2. I didn't test after dinner as I was out. I seem to get those not-to-good feelings at around 5.5 and below. Going to test again in half an hour which will be two hours after lunch.

8.3 this morning. Oops. Did some weights and tested before and after lunch. 5.8 before. 5.4 an hour after and feeling slightly (false) hypo. I seem to be rubbish in the morning but fine the rest of the day. And I obviously need to work out how to sort the fasting BG and need to maybe have a wee...

Did you eat or do anything different?

7.3 - the highest morning reading since I started testing. I had a wee beer and some bread last night. Naughty.

I use Google Docs (think they've just renamed it to Sheets or something) which is online so you can access your documents anywhere you are online - there's an app for phones too. Very useful. I set up a quick spreadsheet in two minutes. It was just a few column headers.

5.5 last night before bed. 6.8 this morning when I woke up. Just tested again, 2 hours after breakfast, and it's 6.8 again.

Thanks for the replies. All really helpful. I guess it all just takes time. Aha! That sounds like it could be what I'm experiencing. I will give that a read. Thanks!

Okay, had turkey and avocado for dinner. Might have a wee bit of blue cheese too. No pizza. Feeling a bit better now so might test again shortly to see if there's any difference. Thanks for all the replies.

Spoilsport ;)

Thanks for replying. I'm tempted to go and eat a pizza for dinner and see what happens. It's a bit frustrating when the levels look much better yet you still feel the same.

I'm feeling a bit rubbish just now. Tested two hours after lunch and my BG was 5.8. I had a few blueberries and some sliced meats to see if that picks me up a bit as I was hungry too. Feeling even more headachey, clammy and anxious now so tested and got 6.5. Are these figures not within the...

Thanks @daisy1 I'll digest all that after my run and second breakfast (!). Oddly I was told by my nurse not to buy a monitor. Something to do with the NHS not paying for strips maybe. Being the inquisitive sort I bought one anyway...

That's what I'm hoping for. I'm not one for popping pills if I can do without them.

Morning. First post in this thread from me. 6.6 this morning. I was 7.2 a few mornings ago when I last did a fasting test. 8.3 last night two hours after dinner. Needs to be lower, huh?

No, just on Gliclizide (the nurse said as I was skinny that I wouldn't need Metformin just now) but I stopped taking that yesterday as I was thinking that my diet and exercise plus that were pushing me too low. Just up and done fasting test. 6.6 this morning. Going out for a run after breakfast.

Just tested two hours after dinner and it was 8.3. Still a wee bit of work to do, then...
