[QUOTE="Prem51, post: 1838298, member: 209498"] Your fbgs are good. Type 2 diabetics should aim for fbgs between 4-7 mmol/L. It is not unusual for your fbg to continue to rise after you first test, until you eat something. It is your liver dumping stored glucose into your bloodstream to boost your energy. Some people find that a small protein snack or a coffee with double cream stops the rise, if you do not feel like eating until 10 am. You sound like I was when I was first diagnosed and told by my doctor that Type 2 was progressive and I would only get worse. I was terrified too, not only about the possible complications, but also because I have an injection phobia and couldn't face the possibility of having to self inject insulin. I lived on one wholemeal bread and tinned salmon/mayo sandwich a day for the first 20 days, and only ate one small meal, around 7 pm for the first 4 months. It did lower my HbA1c at my 3 month retest and I lost around 30 lbs. My weight has crept up a bit since then, but my fbgs are fairly stable around 6.3. My next HbA1c is due in October, and I think I should be below the diabetic range. [/QUOTE]
