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

3.8 today. Day 4 of liquid only fast. Hope it doesn't drop further!
i go to 3.2's when fasting, so you may be able to also. listen to your body, if you feel shaky, then maybe have a quarter of carrot and check your blood sugar 30 mins later.
 
19.1... I guess I cannot control diabetes with diet alone anymore...

Welcome @Anniya84 . Not so fast with the can't control if you please. It may take some changes and stumbles along the way - and may need other interventions - but stick around, Read, post, ask, test and feel the love in the room
 
Been thinking that since the clocks moved back some BG figures have been slightly higher than normal any thoughts ?
 
That should help the confusion immensely Good numbers though, just tough it out ( I believe one might refer to you as a tough old bird at this safe distance)

Ha I’ve been called a lot worse so I’ll take that
 
Hello @Anniya84 and welcome. I'm not sure if you have had the excellent information for newcomers so I will tag @daisy1 whi will kindly post it for you.

Thanks, @ianpspurs! I have been drinking water and walking around the office when I can, but I am now only down to 14.2 and it's lunchtime. I am questioning if I should have my lunch at all or hang in there until the bs levels drop a bit more?

Depends on what is in the lunch basically. A good place to start with for ideas is this thread

Hope that helps. Drop from 19 is going in the right direction
 
Hi all, not able to test today as am waiting for strips to arrive, feels odd to have no idea about my numbers, I don't feel any different though and apart from my pumpkin soup not having anything new so should be OK until I get home.
Horrible weather here today, dark, blustery and heavy showers.
 
do you eat less than 100 grams of carbs in total daily ? , if not then try this from now on
Thanks, @Freema, I will try that. To be honest, I haven't been paying much attention to the carbs (my bad!). I don't really eat biscuits or bread, maybe once a month I would have a craving. I thought that because I don't have these carby things in my regular diet, I'd be alright... Going to 'shop around' the forum for low carb dinner ideas.
