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

Morning all on this very grey day here! Matches my mood...feeling a bit despondent today. 8.2 this morning. Discovered yesterday I am going to have to cut carbs even more and I thought I was doing well
.

We are all on the same journey...and discover new changes all the time...
 
Perhaps you are being too hard on yourself my friend? Wish I could get down to 6.2.
 
I probably am - I just can't seem to get my HBAC1 down below 50 - and the weight loss seems to have stuck!
Sounds to me that you are doing really well especially as I notice that you are not on any medication! I was doing well with my results under control, even reduced my medication due to low carbing and increased exercise until this year when everything went pear shaped after a virus infection and it's affects . I've now had my medication increased to where it was before and have resumed my exercise but it's taking a while to get back to normal. My fasting bloods are in the 8+ range but moving slowly in the right direction so have to keep plodding and await my next HBA1c in July. If I were you I would be feeling proud!

I empathize and sympathise Paula as I feel the same. Keep plodding my friend. It takes time but we will get there!
 
6.1 at 0700 due to being in the car all day yesterday / fish and chips last night / new pot of dodgy strips / night cramps / prospect of rain / riots in Ankh Morpork....
The number doesn't really warrant a hug, but the tale of woes does.
 
We're delighted too

Hugs to you honey.
 
Thank you. I just wish it would stay there and not keep going up and down.
Strangle the only thing that was different was last night I ate 7 large sugared fruit jellies
Ah the carb after low carbing phenomenon. Apparently there is a thread about breaking diet ketosis lowers fbg briefly. @Brunneria knows more. Pick her brains?
