Late posting today. 7.2 this morning but had some good news. Was exspecting the worst as I've hardly been out and not exercised past 3 months. My cholesterol and hbc1a results came back today. My cholesterol and hbc1a is exactly the same as last time !!!! Still 5.9%. Very happy, after having few treats Xmas and being inactive thought it would be sky high. Well I'll just keep going. Good health to you all

5.7 today...that's three mornings in a row under 6.0...progress for me. And, since cutting my steroid dose in half..no real evidence of my usual spike...fingers crossed... coz I having been brutally low carbing - really could use a wee ice lolly as a treat. Thanks for the support, people. x

@andyolly - It's up to the individual how often they test blood sugars. Some people test several times a day, others maybe just once or twice a day. I ALWAYS test first thing on a morning and last before bed, and maybe through out the day if I feel my blood sugar may be dropping.:)
 
I guess its up to me due to the fact as I refused to take meds my doctors will not prescribe strips. Hey so I buy them, this morning I record 5.3 so I feel I must be doing something right?
 
Good Morning all! 5.7 at 0620 today.

@andyolly 5.3 is good. Anything between 4-7 is good for a Type 2. From what I read 5.5 is the magic figure to aim for.
