It's still very early days for me, only diagnosed as T2 about 3 weeks ago. I am taking Glucophage SR - 1000 mg twice a day, and having read the posts on this forum, trying to low carb my way to good BG levels. After a slow start, things are improving - I still have 'moderate' ketones, but think this is due to weight loss. I am testing fairly frequently, and am delighted that the trend is downward, from the scary 19.5 and is sometimes a respectable 4.6 before meals and again 2 hours after eating.
What has me a bit baffled is that last night BG was 4.6 two hours after eating, but when I checked at bedtime, it had risen to 5.6, despite not having ingested any more food. What caused this rise, and is this 'normal' for diabetics? My morning pre-breakfst reading was 7.4. Would welcome some insight into this, and any advice on whether I should be doing something to stop the upward creep of the numbers!
