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

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!
