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

[ianpspurs]

7.9 fasting this morning, not bad but not great.

Welcome @Carolkelly54. You say not bad but not good - do you know what it has been like before? Hopefully someone else will know which Daisy to tag if you haven't heard from her as a new poster yet.

Good morning everyone. Had a very high carb meal yesterday as well as too much of it, and this morning my fbs is 6.3! It just shows me that eating a high carb meal and too much of it is a no no for all diabetics. Eat in moderation and choose carbs wisely is key to good control of our dreaded disease.

My fasting bg levels are currently between 4.3 to 5.5

Im just wondering what would happen if I don't take my Metformin?

my numbers have gone up with around 1 mmol in average

So will you be going back to taking Metformin?

So will you be going back to taking Metformin?

No for 2 reasons , the first because I need to be higher in HbA1c before my GP may pescribe them to me , the second reason is my own ; the metformin tampers with my TSH levels ( thyrodea stimulating hormones ) so that it seems my metabolism is much higher than it in fact is ; which Leeds to my GP prescribing a too low dose of levothyroxine for me and me gaining around a 1 kg a week , my GP is so fixed on my TSH levels that she won’t listen to my arguments and also don’t see what a personal disaster it is to me gaining 1 kg a week she just closes her ears ... so no I need my metabolism to have the true levels of TSH, and the cost here is I get a higher HbA1c , but my last was 36 and I expect my next one to be around 38
