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

Hi maisiepug,1 st 9 mmols isn't too bad..not good ,i would say that you are experiencing diabetic neuropathy,it is because of highish bs levels, so ist if you are not already eat lchf..full fat yogurt and cream olive oils and bacon, fish ,eggs,nuts ,avocado's all these things will help to fill you up and keep you satiated...without making you put on weight.
If you eat four small meals of lchf at regular intervals...your bs will drop and your retinopathy will abate
We all get stressed at times .so learn not to worry about things that are beyond our control and deal with your immiediate concerns 1 st
If you need some more help or guidance feel free to pm me.clive

Good Morning! 6.1 at 0615 today.
I was getting high 5s last four days after having a couple of glasses a Merlot the previous night. I didn't have any last night.
I will have some tonight to see if I am lower again tomorrow. Purely in the interest of scientific research.

Raised cortisol levels when exercising can raise bgs. Once those cortisol levels drop so should your bg. Should. Mine somedays catch me out. Avoid stressful exercise.
