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

My GP sorted my problems out, increased my Spiriva Respimat to two x two inhalations twice a day to help with my breathing through the night.

He is also making / made an appointment for me to see a pulmonary specialist at the hospital up the road.

He said that being in the fasting sixes s in the morning was within the good reading boundaries, and not to stress out over it.

Morning lovely people. I want to apologise for being a grumpy guts...I got over myself now.

12.9 this morning which is a kick that says this isn't random and I can control it. Time to sort stuff out. Thank up for your patience. This ends the public service announcement

No apologies necessary, we are your sponge. Good luck with you management!! We're here for the bad and the good!! Roll on the good:D
 
It was 9.4 this morning, after not eating since 6pm last night. I think this infection/abcess is pushing it up. Hopefully , once the ab's kick in later, it will come down.

any ideas on how to keep bs down during infections please?
 
Was 5.7 this morning. Wife retired yesterday and the girls in the office gave her a party cake selection for too much for her to eat on her own so was duty bound to help her out.

So with that and some rice with my chicken balti (home made) was at over 8 mmol at bed time so 5.7 seems not too bad at all.

Same here mate.


Got to get a chest xrays done next week ready for the specialist to have a look at, but I have a feeling in my water there will be a CT scan needed as well. :meh:

Good luck Tipetoo, hope all goes well during you lung specialist appointment. He will be able to confirm if you indeed have COPD. My GP misdiagnosed me and a visit to the specialist confirmed I did not have COPD after going through a series of tests. Allergy of dust mite was the culprit.

If low carb not enough then a temporary increase in meds?
What does your care team say?
Like @Pipp has mentioned. Only your team can advise on med changes. Not us.

That is helpful as I thought dust is aggregating me. Haven't been well enough to do my normal jobs at home and dusting done less now. :(
