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

8.2 this morning about 1/2 hour after waking so not as good as it has been but much better than the continual upper doubles (If I was lucky) that I used to get. Seems that cutting out the high carbs, especially bread and spuds and taking the meds as prescribed is working but still struggling with what to have for breaky because even a small portion of the home made musli and porridge pushes my BS straight into double figures and it gets boring eating some sort of egg concoction every day.

Hello everyone. My fbs this morning shot up to 6.5. O lay had a few grapes in between meal so that must be the culprit. Just guessing but I will stay away from grapes and see how tomorrow goes. LOL that is the mystery of diabetes.

5.6 today a bit high for me, too much ‘joined up meat’ (as my Dad calls it!) yesterday sirloin steak for lunch and gammon steak for a very late dinner. Hope that the explaination rather than my drop in Metformin last Saturday?

No two days are the same are they? I was a bit miffed this morning to see this reading as yesterday was fairly low carb and only one proper meal due to work circumstances, nice and low at bedtime so didn’t expect it to be in the 6’s at all
 
4.4 at 4:30 am.

Been in the fours nearly every day this week, must be doing something right I think.

It's getting warmer with the temps going up to 29° C yesterday in winters last gasp here in Bundaberg.

Plurry top knot pigeons here in Bundy are more interested in karrapin on my truck, and cooing sweet nothings to the other pigeons that are sitting on the same 13000 volt power line.

Cant get them fly faster at all...

I’m with you there. For me it seems a win win situation, I’m fitter: blood tests show this, and much happier eating lchf than the low fat type diets I’d been trying for many years.
Wishing you many happy returns of the day!
