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

[Tim55]

Morning All

Mines fallen to 8.2 today, and my 16 day average of all results has hit 6.85, which is the highest its been for over 2 years.

I'm blaming the lack of exercise and the painkillers I'm taking to try and deal with a couple of other problems, but off to the Docs tomorrow to see if I need to make any changes.

Winner. Mine was 7.4 and woke tired but lots to think about with both young kids resuming school full-time and pe for 4yr old first full day. Nearly fully kitted out.

This is not an easy thing for me to admit/confess/share but my blood readings this morning are the highest I've seen for a year / since I was aware that I am carbohydrate intolerant / diabetic. I did have a very long drive yesterday ( left at 4;30 AM , returned at 6pm having clocked up 500 miles +), however my sugars have been creeping up over the last week. This morning they are 6.9. My plan is to try to take it a bit easier over the next few days, do a bit of calorie restriction, swop from the morning cycle ride to walking and hope for the best while keeping my fingers crossed and eyes open.....Have a great day if you can....

I'll pm you if possible. Sounds like liver dumping from exercise causing higher bgs. Cycling too stressful, maybe walking will be more relaxing but a positive reduction of average bgs?

2 weeks after returning from France .... drum roll please, 5.8

Worth been a naught boy as it didn't take long to recover.

And thanks @ickihun for prompting me to post again - felt a bit bad as I was a little high, now realise I can't be a poster boy diabetic all the time

Hi , thanks for your thoughts. From what I read walking is classified as a weight bearing exercise unlike cycling so this may have an impact as well.

Take it easy honey. Please don't beat yourself up. 6.9 is not dreadful.

After a run in the low 5s, this mornings reading around 7am was 6.9 for no reason I can think of other than bad karma for swearing at my cat. I had no idea the wee spoiled a-hole's treatment had such control over my blood sugars. I am not giving in though... she is not allowed to swipe at me after being all purry and sweet to lead me into thinking she is not a psycho. Let's see what not talking to her all day will do to my level tomorrow.
