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

[Holidaymad_]

Had a terrible night sleep tossing and turning and getting stressed about my background retinopathy (see my post in type 2 board below about feeling ashamed) think I just had "diabetes" on my mind before bed, resulted in a really rubbish 7.0 this morning!! Does stress affect your blood sugar? Yesterday was 5.6, I could actually cry with this high result, along with feeling stressed about retinopathy and my weight had hit a plateau and I don't know how to shift it. Currently doing an extra half an hour run on the treadmill before an hours class of hiit training, eating 1200 calories a day. Thinking maybe the 5:2. Sorry for the long post.

5.3 this morning and Dr was very sweet and gave me an antibiotic thankfully and I've decided to take 2 days off work to try and get rid of this post viral thing.

First of all you need to relax. By joining here you will find some solutions. Put the breaks on with stressing. You can now relax into better management.
Your not alone.
Diet makes the biggest impact on any disease but type2 is very much a diet reactive disease. Low carbing works well for most but you need to find what works for you.

I have some low number strips in the pot today mate, I struck a 3.8 before dinner this evening.

So snuck a slice or two of bread to mop the gravy up on the strength of that one.

Morning All

7.2 today and my 16 day average (all results, not just fasting) has climbed to 6.4, whereas before this last problem I was holding it around 5.4. It is true that I've changed meters though, and the new one was usually reading higher than my old one when I ran comparisons. Put on 2lbs last week, which will please my dietician and gastro nurses, not so much the diabetic ones....

5.4 - Lovely rain! It is lovely as I do not have to water the garden and it has lower the temperature and freshened the air.

Been a bit quiet lately as have had a lot going on. I was 6.8 this morning despite having less than 100g carbs yesterday

4.0 this morning following a 40 minute walk late yesterday and a dinner of scrambled eggs and bacon lardons.
