8.6 [emoji31]

Update - went out for posh (2 Michelin stars) meal last night including bubbly, red wine 4 courses and coffee - tested blood when I got home - 5.4! Need to test now though too - what's the betting it has crept right up overnight ?

Well I ate some stuff (bacon, eggs, sausage, tomatoes followed by square of dark chocolate) and went to bed at 4.3! Woke up at 5.0 which is a lot better than previous days after food! Sent from my SM-A510F using Diabetes.co.uk Forum mobile app

I didn't dare leave it that low and the wife insisted I eat something!

Hi I was diagnosed type 2 at only 21 and not humungously over weight at 13 stone. The difference is you found this place and now have the tools to deal with it whereas I listened to my diabetic nurse and thought that it was inevitable that I would end up on insulin! My advice would be to try low...

Ok can somebody please explain how I just got a 2.6 blood sugar when I am only taking Metformin I thought that wasn't possible ? I can't fast tonight now ! [emoji21] Sent from my SM-A510F using Diabetes.co.uk Forum mobile app

Ahh not fair talking about food whilst I am fasting! [emoji31]

Food (not good as per last post)! Sent from my SM-A510F using Diabetes.co.uk Forum mobile app

Thanks dm2-one here's hoping! I am not far off finishing my fast (4 hours) and blood levels consistently 4.6 to 4.8 since last night (no dawn phenomenon when I haven't eaten the night before!) Even forgot to take my Metformin last night but it made no difference (presumably as no good to deal...

Breakfast - none Lunch - none Dinner - none Fasting! [emoji21] Sent from my SM-A510F using Diabetes.co.uk Forum mobile app

Started my second 47 hour fast today and it is proving more difficult than last week - can't wait til bedtime to come so I can get on to day 2! On the plus side no insulin taken since 12th August and not had a blood sugar reading over 7.5 yet! Sent from my SM-A510F using Diabetes.co.uk Forum...

Quick update! 4.4 after a fry up, 25g 70% chocolate and a large glass of wine! Sent from my SM-A510F using Diabetes.co.uk Forum mobile app

Not quite such good results over the last 2 days - usually starting first thing at 6.5-6.8 then up towards 7.5 before coming back down (yesterday to 4.8 before dinner and back to 4.8 within 2 hours). Today it has only got down to 5.9 by 2pm and I am due to have a meal at 3pm (trying to do a...

Will keep updating on progress! Forgot to mention I am attempting to include 3-4 HIIT sessions per week also as I know exercise helps my control too!

Hi all It has been (ahem!) At least two years probably since I last posted but here goes! I found Dr Fung online and it all made such sense I did a 47 hour day fast the next day. I followed up with 2 days of skipping breakfast, late lunch (3pm) and dinner by 7pm. I reduced my insulin from 12...

Hi Claire I was diagnosed type 2 at the same age as you after finishing uni ! I listened to the doctors but did virtually ignore my levels and never took any readings - my medication crept up and up but they reassured me that this was inevitable and not related to my diet! I ended up on insulin...

Hi all thought I would join in on this thread as I am also "back on track" with a vengeance! 12 weeks in to low carb and 2 weeks into a regular gym routine and my type 2 diabetes previously controlled by 3 x slow release metformin and 14 units of insulin twice a day is now more than under...

Well I managed a very small jog last night and the result was a 5.9 this morning and a 5.5 just before lunch so hopefully I am back on the straight and narrow!

4.6 is great! Keep in the mid fours and fives and you won't go far wrong! Usually a couple of numbers up after meals so mid 6s and early sevens are ok 'post prandial' as they call it

Tina It is probably a false hypo based on your usually higher numbers! But still feels like a hypo I know! It will take you a while to adjust to the lower numbers but you will get there! I may well have a walk tonight to try and address my own rising levels - although I got a 5.2 before lunch...
