A few more questions....

[Hm112819]

I was diagnosed approximately 2 months ago, with a H1AC score of 52 and 49.

I started daily exercise and LC diet, I've lost 3 1/2 stone.

All blood sugars have been normal (apart from the dawn phenomenon, which adds 1.0, for a few hours).

Then this morning wham FBG 7.9, which lowered to 6.9 by lunch (chicken salad), 8.5 2 hours after and 7.2 just before dinner.

I am full of a cold, can this effect blood sugars so dramatically, or do I need to go back to the doctors?

yes disease can raise blood glucose, well if you think of it as a natural phenomenon like in the stoneage one would not be able to go hunting when being ill so the body developed a strategy of letting the liver produce more glucose when we are ill to get us through disease ...

what a fine job you have done getting numbers down and loosing weight... congratulations... don´t worry for a few days with a little raised blood glucose when you do know the reason..

Thankyou for your response.

Is it something I need to address, I did turn down taking metformin.

Would someone without diabetes have a spike, or would their body just produce more insulin?

apologies about all the questions.

well I think their insuline would counteract the raise... by leading the extra blood glucose into the musles and other places where they are needed , that is where we type 2 have our problems as we usually have a many timed level of insuline but our cells will no longer react the right accepting way to our insuline or any insuline anylonger... and when insuline is very raised we do tend to store blood glucose as fat in our fat-cells... that is why fasting is especially good for type 2 diabetic as fasting leads to a much lowered insuline level in our bodies...(along with the much lower level of glucose as well)
