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

Good morning all

Spanish phenomenon continues with a 4.8 today.

That means 11 out of 14 tests I've done in the last week sInce settling in here have been in the 4.something range - almost 80%.

At home I think I am doing well if that figure is 16%
 
My reading today in Malaga was 5.5. 3 days away so far, tons of additional carbs readings of 5.7, 5.3 and now 5.5.

I think I need to up the alcohol content.

Have you ever experience high ketone while your BGL is on normal level?
I have done quite a lot of reading and mostly can find only high ketone related to type 1.
I am a type 2 and the only internet reference I can find is that LCHF might cause this.
Is it dangerous? Mine is atm on very high level.

Thanks for encouragement @Mbaker

Cheers,
Aini

Good Evening!! I've had problems logging on all day, but finally managed to by switching browser to Chrome. I hope this continues to work ok.
My fbg at 0500 today was 6.3.

Stressed out with very high ketone level result found yesterday :/
My evening was a horror story of searching on internet of DKA. Scary stuff.
But I was a fool, doing that - only adding stress to my system.
As a result, BGL rose quite significantly and waking up today with 6.1 :'(
Duh, back to where I was again.
But I am not seeing this as a failure.
I try to remind myself it is a marathon rather than a sprint.
Thank you for your encouragement Debra!

There's so much to learn and this is just my second month :)
I want a huge bowl of chocolate ice cream with double choco sauce on it!
Yum!

*cries*

Find a recipe and make it sugar free!!! You can have double cream and eggs (to make a custard) and the 85-90% chocolate, i would add stevia too... (melt butter with the chocolate!) Doesnt take long to do and will get rid of that pang... there are recipes out there just have to be more creative!

You too!!! I had that all of yesterday i tried everything so just thought the site was down... it came back on eithout doing anything (couldnt even get on through email or google search etc) wierd but glad to be on. I didnt check this morning as was busy (so not fasting) but bgl have been terrible all day. I had breakfast which was something that normally doesnt effect my bgl at all!!! But today i just felt dizzy all the time and was in the 7s for most of the day (obviously where my body decided it wanted to be) back down to the 5s now but didnt eat between 9 and 5 and didnt go down until after i ate... i hate my body sometimes:confused::(

I have been substituting sugar with Stevia when needed.
It's pretty good, tho there's a slight bitter taste afterwards. Or is it just me?
Your ice cream idea sounds easy and simple to make, should be done in my kitchen soon.

Thank you xxx
