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

5.1 - lovely sunny morning :) Off to Sheffield to pick up daughter from university, then on to a lovely hotel for the night - celebrating Hubby's, 50th birthday tomorrow. Eating at the restaurant tonight - and we are BOTH having pudding :D Will see what effect that has tinight/tomorrow!

Good Morning! 6.9 at 0545 today.
A bit higher than usual. I think it's because I hadn't defrosted anything from the freezer yesterday, and as it was raining I didn't want to walk to the supermarket so I had wholemeal pasta with pesto last night. Fish tonight so should be lower tomorrow.

Good Morning! 5.2 at 0730 today.
After Sea Bream fillets, 4 new potatoes, broccoli and spinach last night. The 3 glasses of Merlot might have helped too. :)

6.1 is pretty good.
If you have cut out carbs then have a look at how much protein you are eating.
I only eat twice a day (about noon for a brunch and then evening meal). If you don't like that idea then perhaps have a go at home made broth.
Have a search on some other threads and see what has worked for other folk.
Walk - do some fast walking.
Don't punish yourself.
 
I am struggling to get my morning fasting levels lower by sticking to a low carb diet but I don't seem to be able to maintain a steady figure. They have come down form 13.7 in March to an average of between 6.8 and 8 but vary every day. it was 8 this morning but I was awake at 4am with such a bad headache I had to take some painkillers.....it is still hanging on. Any suggestions as to how I can stabilise the morning figure any better.
