Type 2s: What was your fasting blood glucose in a morning? (very low chat level)

5.1 this morning (and I had steak and kidney pie last night!). I did an experiment of taking a milk thistle and bitter melon capsule with the meal. Looks as if either/or one of them does seem to help with my levels. Either way I'm keeping on with the milk thistle in an attempt to get my cholesterol down a bit.
 

Totally low carb. Don't think I'm stressed, other than my BS in the mornings!
 
Wow! That is an amazing result - well done!
 
Nearly diagnosed yesterday started on metformin and 18.2 this morning
and I feel rough please tell me it gets better
Morning, and welcome to the forum!
You are feeling so rough because your blood sugar levels are so high, but once you start to bring them down - and it can happen quite quickly for many lucky people, then yes, it does get better. The information you'll get from @daisy1 will show you the ways in which you can start to reduce those readings.
Good luck!
