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

[Rachox]

4.2 for me today

My reading this morning was 4.2 within 20 minutes of waking up it drops to the 3s. I take a jelly baby to get it back to 4s. Is this due to not eating enough carbs. I am type 2 on insulin and metformem can't spell it.

In my opinion you firstly need to get a meds review and ( again in my opinion ) need to reduce some of either your metformin or insulin . But this needs to be discussed with a medical professional ...hopefully one who knows what they are doing

G'Day, eh? from Montreal. My morning BG is 4.9 mmol/L (05:30hrs EST)

Using my new Accu Chek GUIDE glucose monitor. Neat, transfers reading automatically to MySugr app on my Android.
My insurance covered my bandelettes/test strips supply. That was a pleasant surprise.

Hey Lorna. When I was on Glyburide I had to keep DEX4 with me all the time, cause I would get some looloo hypos on that stuff. You folks here put me on to Saxaglyptin and Metformin, and my new MD put me on Komboglyze (Sax+Met.). I've been very stable ever since. FWIW. Great success.

Finally back into the 9's with a 9.3

Heading in the right direction @mojo37. Long may that continue.

A disappointing 10.9 this morning I am putting down to very poor sleep because carb wise I have been careful .

G'Day from summery Montreal. I woke to a BG of 5.2 mmol/L this a.m. (05:30hrs EST.)

I'm liking this AccuChek GUIDE Bluetooth glucometer.
