Hello and morning
I 'm a recently new Type 2 user (2 weeks) , I am on 2 x 500gr Metformin and life style change (we all are really)
I have a hight blood sugar count at first testing with meter I was 36 on the meter, my nurse told me to cut sugar out of my life and the blood sugar will drop in time as well as other things ( peeing way too much and others)
so I have cut sugar out -- feel low after it to be truefull but hay-ho I want to get better. I went back week later to get meter and strips we tested again and it was 12 -- I was well chuffed she was'nt she said I have a long way to go but its a start - I said ok took my nexus meter home and have carried on with life style change plan.
I have tested 1st thing in the mornings (fasting) as I was told this is the important reading and I have been testing around 9-10 pm in the evenings.
The thing is I have had 3 good fasting readings 11,11.9, 12.6 but the rest of the time they have been around 17-26 in the morning although I have not drunk or have eaten, Take this morning I had a 1/2 mile walk got back tested 17.9 this is before my one and only cup of tea last night I tested 24 -- strange.
I no I'm going in the right direction I have lost 6lbs only on 900 -1100 cals a day trying to keep the carbs between 90-110 a day
thanks for reading and thanks in advance to any replies in advance
