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

You’ve got to change the food a wee bit try things out you find the good and the bad it’s all trial and error till you do ! some do low carb some very low carb .

I prefer to mix a wee bit within reason my plates made up of a lot off salad
With maybe steak,pork,chicken lamb and even oven chips , a bit of exercise doesn’t go
Wrong either if you can manage .

I don’t go silly I just try a control it and still be happy with what I eat and it seems to work for me but it’s maybe not for everyone.
 

Thanks for the advice I think it is trying different things and finding what works to reduce BS but also to feel happy and satisfied with meals - I am walking my dog twice a day so hoping this helps too! I find lower carbs helps especially evening meal - 8.2 tonight which is promising for the morning I’m hoping to get under 9! Thank you.
 
5.6 at last! !.
It's taken 8 days for Gliclazide to work, during that time,I felt hungry all the time . I reckon it must be a big change for the body to stop the insulin.The main thing is never give up.
 
3.3 @ 06.19, feel fine (walked less than usual after dinner last night - 4.5 miles, but interjected circa 180 push-ups during the walk, 20 at a time at random intervals. Whilst this would look odd in an urban setting, my walk was on the coast at Walton On The Naze)
 
I am so grateful for everyone on this great forum.
People here understand,
 
I'm having a lack of confidence in losing ever again too. We can do this. Make a new thread and get some support, it does work. I have to do the same but too busy this morning.
I know what I did to lose my 3.5st but really struggling at mo. I think mine is a tad depression. I'm avoiding the subject with GP as I just cannot face another med.
