T2s: What was your fasting BG this morning, and what did you eat yesterday?

Venkat Kommi said:
Even without exercise and Doughnut BG 4.3 is amazing.
Click to expand...
It was taken 6 hours after my last meal, which was a lowish carb lunch.

Plus, in isolation a doughnut isn't too bad, 30g of carbs and plenty of fat to slow down absorption. It becomes a problem with one every morning with a coffee!

The 4.6 is great news. FBG looks like you are still getting a little dawn phenomenon. Just be patient, this is always the last measure to come down. If you can get BG down yo under 5 less than 3 hours after carb rich snacks you are definitely moving in the right direction.
