wow well done do you have a specific secret to getting that low?

 

[Keesha]

Good morning all. It is 5.7 fbs for me this morning.

6.4 at 10:00 due to stressful sleep

Hello Freema . My FBG was 109 mg/dL [ = 6.05 mmol/L ] after a night's sleep and no breakfast , i.e. a fast of 18 hours. Then after gym, at a fasted time of 23 hours it was 144 = [ 8 mmol/L ] . How can this be ? I read somewhere that exercise should make your blood sugar go down, or is that only when in dietary ketosis ? I think I read that insulin resistance in the muscles might lead to a high blood sugar as the sugar released by the liver is not taken up by the muscles . Any ideas ? I am on no meds. Hopefully am a reversed type 2 db.

Exercise makes your BG rise initially but it should drop later.

Hi ally1,
How are you feeling this morning, or (Night) as good as one can expect to be, with this condition to deal with, I hope?

I know that the trials and tribulations of this condition can be very disheartening in the first few months, when you look at all the different members and their BGL's each day, there is a lot of emphasis placed on them. But all you need to worry about really is your own reading each day, so as long as you are putting in a true effort, then in time they will be where all the others are, as well.

Am struggling big time at the moment.

LOL Don the things we do eh !!


Went for my blood test today thought it was the usual blood ,feet ,blood pressure etc BUT no took the blood and weight then made an appointment for over three weeks time for the rest apparently they’ve changed the way they do things now and you now have to do twice then if anything’s wrong you get the doc on a third appointment !!

God what a bloody waste of time and resources I’m glad it’s only once a year ( I’ll check the blood results online probably Thursday)

Sending hugs @ally1 and @Contralto

Hope blood test results are good @bigjim19 is it your A1c?

It is ! my figures have been reasonable the last few months so hopefully won’t have to have a third appointment

I got there at 7:15 am grabbed a number, and was called in near straight away as there was hardly any early morning rush still there.

Had my breakfast and first coffee at the cafe there, and got home by 8:20.

I will get the results later in the week when I see my GP.

Hi Everyone,
I hope your all doing as well as you expect to be doing, whilst dealing with this beast of a condition, we're all burdened with!!!

My BGL's this morning at about 08.20 hrs were 8.1 which isn't that bad for me as they have hovered around here for the past few weeks, or so!

Hi ally1,

I totally understand that it's hard but it's all a matter of commitment and how bad you want to get right, as you know the outcome of only doing this half hardheartedly and it isn't good, but there is always someone on this Forum who will assist you when in doubt, or having a hard time so come on, it's Ok once you get going.

"Today is the 1st Day in the rest of your life.
So get up take your BGL's and go for a walk,
and Grasp all that is on offer, on this day!"​
