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

    My meter has died so no blood test result to add today as I have had to buy another meter :( I only recently bought several boxes of strips so didn't by the cheapo meter recommended as I didn't want to dump the sticks

    What can I add to make black coffee not so bitter, but won’t break fast?

    Is 16:8 fasting safe (type2)?

    I first came across intermittent fasting on the Diet Doctor site and I first saw Dr Jason Fung there too. I have several of his books on my Audible account and listen to them while having a lie down in the afternoon.

    Waving From Eastbourne. Pre diabetes.

    Update. On another thread I said I had been left with no Diabetes support for 2 years following the random phone call which gave me the news about prediabetes. I made a mistake.
