6.3 for me today. In desperation I've gone back to my ALA/ vitamin B12 /vitamin B1 regime to try and get my low 5s and 4s back.

Off for another CT scan later...

a lot of food im supposed to eat yuk
But, it's still within range. :)

Can understand that but it is higher than normal ( av 6.0 ) yesterday was 6.8 so it is down since then but for weeks it's been on the average must admit though there's a lot going on around me at the moment so maybe that's effecting things

9.1 this morning and 9.5 two hours after coffee and cream. Yesterday I had coffee and cream, a two egg omelette for lunch and smoked haddock and buttered sprouts for tea. No snacks, water to drink, no sign of any infections. Was 6.5 before I ate dinner and 7.4 after two hours. Had gone up to 8.3 before bed.
I am very, very confused.

hey you must create your own thread in the "ask a question" section, if you wan´t to start another subject, this thread is only for fasting/morning blood glucose and around that... because maybe 50 persons take part here the thread will soon miss focus if other discussions lead it astray

click this link and click at the green square in the upper right corner to create a thread :

Sorry I just realised that I should have just put 9.1 on this thread and saved the waffle for somewhere else.

just keep on going low carb and it will lower... if you are ill or have an infection your numbers can be higher from that, or in the cases where peoples pancreas do not produce enough insulin, in those cases the person will need added insuline for all future...

An uncomfortable 3.3 this morning. Tramadol brings my bgs down, I think. No metformin again due to its side affects. So reducing my insulin today, again. Pain must really make a big difference not a small one!
Hope you feel better soon.

Hope 6s aren't causing any complications @Tim55

Welcome to the first day of Autumn readings, 6.5 at 5:00 am.

Have got my averages down again last month, 30 day average was 6.22 and the 90 day average was 6.29.

I wonder if it will go much lower than these figures, I have got blood tests arranged for Friday so will be interesting to see what my hba1c is for the past three months.
