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

Great result if you were naughty, and as your numbers are so consisteintly good, why not have a day off once in a while... Sorry if this goes against all medical advice, but we are human,
My medical advice given recently was to relax more and to not be too obsessive about my diabetes. Hospital appointment in feb 2017.
We are human not robots. Totally agree @callyandy .
 
Well lower than last night, but still 6.2, maybe LCHF has run its course in my failing body
Just wondered if you had considered the amount of protein consumed - too much and your liver starts to convert the amino acids in the protein into sugar. Just a thought.

Relax. It can make all the difference. 6.2 is an excellent fbg! I read somewhere that coming out of ketosis occasionally helps keep fbgs low. As exercises carb sensitivity. Nut allergy research exploring same way to help with sensitivity.
 
Bit of a contrast these last few days - 5.9 yesterday and 7.5 today after tossing and turning all night.
Oh no. A cold on its way? Hope just your immune system kicking in. No stress today please. Thinking of you!
Ps. Had a thought.... you didn't experience a near hypo through the night eg. 5.5ish, did you? 7.5 would be reactive glucose dump. Maybe a 5 would give you hypo symptoms? Don't leave too long inbetween dinner/supper and deep sleep hun. I'll see you in type2 life if you want to think/talk it through!

Hi Jason

You're right - this is an active forum, but this thread is purely for posting fasting figures.

I think you would do much better to start a new thread, and be aware that there are different areas for type 1 and Type 2s on here as well.

Good luck with the project though.
 
7.4 @ 4.45am
8.8 @ 7.30am awake lots after 1st test with cramp. More salt needed maybe?
7.1 @ 12 noon after exercise class and walk, Breaking fast about 1.30pm that will be 18 hrs and feeling good.
 

Good job!
