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

Looseboy said:
4.6 for me at 06:30
Also tested at 01:30 ( dog got me up ) was 4.6 then too

I don't usually do middle of the night but still fairly new so trying to look for any patterns or hidden spikes

Good idea to test at odd times. Knowledge is power!:)

Well after yesterdays high this morning was higher at 8.6 Not sure why. I tested last night 2 hours after my dinner of homemade vegetable chilli at it was 6.6. Any ideas? Thank you x

You are just starting out on this long road, don't panic, it takes a little time for our bodies to get used to a change in diet. Your numbers aren't frighteningly high (although I understand they are alarming to you). Relax a little. Your chilli sounds yummy.:)

@callyandy thank you. Chilli was yum. I guess i am expecting faster results, just feel i have made massive diet changes and taking my medication, that i want it to be reflected in my numbers. And thank you for your kind words...it makes a huge difference xx
 
4.6 this morning (okay I cheated a bit - had some apple cider vinegar in water last night with bicarb - to combat some abdominal gas). Looks like the ACG definitely does the trick in bringing your levels down. Hoping it might help to shift some of the visceral fat which is hanging on for dear life!
 
9.0 at 5.30am A bit of a restless night still, but back to work today. 7.2 after I finished work at 1.20pm so heading in the right direction!
