What is "normal" is far too tricky to answer. I can tell you that a year ago I was pretty much where you are re sugar levels and over the year I've been doing low carb along with a bit of diet and fasting my sugar levels in the morning are now in the 4-5 range and if they get into 6's I fast a little or calorie restrict. All this because generally it makes me feel so much better, more energised and less worried about the prospects of an ongoing illness.Morning my bg is still dropping (newly diagnosed). Why is 6s bad ? I thought the range was between 4-7 in the morning or fasting
My bg is 7.1
What is normal?
Good morning everyone
BG today 6.5 K
Just noticed on this thread by 38candy has been told 6s BG levels are a bad thing!? Can anyone explain why.

Sometimes you just have to live a little!6.4 at 07:30 this morning. I'm pleased with that as I had a bit too much bread (albeit wholemeal) yesterday as well as 2 squares of 70% chocolate [PMT you understand]

Hi @38candy 6s aren't bad. Anything between 4-7 (fbg) is good for T2s. My average is 6.3 which I am quite happy with.Morning my bg is still dropping (newly diagnosed). Why is 6s bad ? I thought the range was between 4-7 in the morning or fasting

Thanks for that Prem51 I'm doing the same has you has my Hba1c is also due in September before my birthday so hopefully I will still be in target,and fingers crossed my cholesterol will be down after low carb high fat diet started early on this year.!! K BG this morning was 6.5Hi @38candy 6s aren't bad. Anything between 4-7 (fbg) is good for T2s. My average is 6.3 which I am quite happy with.
I was concerned that my fbgs were creeping up into the high 6s, and could have gone higher, as I am due my 12 month HbA1c and review in September. So I am fasting to get it down.
You fbg of 7.1 isn't bad as you have only recently been diagnosed, and your readings are still falling. I expect you will get into the 4-7 target range soon.
Thank you. It's certainly enlightening being on here and taking note of the advice.Welcome, knowledge is power
