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

Today's FBG reading isn't great, but you must be pleased it's still heading in the right direction.

You’ll learn most from blood glucose levels just before you start a meal and then two hours later. The post-meal reading should be no more than 2 mmol/l higher than the first and not higher than 8 mmol/l. If that's the case, your body dealt with the arrival of glucose in your bloodstream and cleared it relatively quickly.

If you can achieve that consistently (by reducing your carbohydate intake where necessary), your FBG levels first thing in the morning should gradually come down.

Thanks for the thoughts and advice. I know it won't happen overnight, so despite the odd blip, hopefully going in the right dir=rection...

Jello Lainie71. & Thank you for the encouragement. It does feel like a kick in the tabs, when it's not as low as I thought it would be, or the spikes get bigger.
The encouragement helps and I don't feel so alone with the issues.........Thanks

Well my heating should have come on but clock change meant it came on an hour later. Don't like fiddling with the controls in case it won't then come on at all.
