[QUOTE="kamakiri, post: 989039, member: 203857"] Well, if you're like me—fairly new to the glucose game (six months old or so) then you'll love to see what your glucose levels have been up to. I'm 57, not overweight, but accounting now for my lifetime of alcohol, sweets, pastas, rices, potatoes and breads . . . [I]never[/I] in moderation, always consumed to maximum capacities! I suppose I have moderate diabetes (probably have unknowingly for decades). Anyway, my gluc-o-meter tells me I have an across-the-board 7/15/30-day average, over 60 or so readings, of 8.2 for all of the various periods. I laboriously copied out my readings from the last 36 or so, complete with the times of day taken. I usually eat two meals a day, with no snacks in between: one in the mid-morning, recently consisting of multigrain linguine/homemade tomato sauce (never sugars added to anything), and one at 10 or so in the evening, usually consisting of some form of whole-wheat pita with a protein of chicken or beef (non-processed) and various vegetable fillers. The only actual sugar I consume during the day is a teaspoon with every cup of tea or coffee—usually around 4/day—and the kind in 2% milk, with which I make a latte every day. So you should see spikes at midday and midnight with the occasional Dawn Phenomenon. But in general, how do you think I'm doing? As I said, I'm average weight for my height and have reassuringly few other health issues. Taking metformin, 250mg twice/daily. All readings in mMol . . . 10-21 1:59am 6.7 10-21 12:06pm 6.3 10-22 10:39am 6.6 10-22 8:54pm 5.8 10-22 11:38pm 11.2 10-23 6:43am 9.1 10-23 12:54pm 6.7 10-23 1:54pm 5.4 10-24 3:17am 8.7 10-25 6:33am 9.0 10-25 8:55pm 5.5 10-26 8:34am 7.7 10-26 8:31pm 6.8 10-26 11:49pm 6.0 10-27 1:05am 10.3 10-28 7:07pm 5.9 10-31 9:13am 6.4 11-01 3:12am 10.1 11-01 7:39pm 9.6 11-02 1:39am 10.3 11-02 6:41am 5.8 11-03 5:30am 6.7 11-04 3:50am 9.2 11-04 6:26am 6.6 11-04 10:27am 9.6 11-05 5:26pm 7.2 11-06 6:31am 9.3 11-06 11:55pm 11.2 11-06 8:46pm 6.3 11-07 3:49am 6.8 11-07 6:57pm 5.6 11-08 12:27pm 12.7 11-09 8:31am 9.6 11-09 5:50pm 10.6 11-09 8:11pm 6.2 11-09 8:48pm 7.6 [/QUOTE]
