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

Hi Gingerjan - welcome to the forum! I'm tagging @daisy1, who will send you some information which will help you make sense of all this (apologies if this is a duplication from elsewhere).
Good luck with the LCHF programme - I'm med-free too and it's brilliant once you get into the swing of it. Youll have those numbers down in no time!
Hugs

I added fasting to get them down after a couple of days i was in the 3s though that is the lowest i have gone and on no medication... i started in the 20s and got it down to non diabetic levels (though still high) within 2 weeks of low carbing, it wasnt good enough so was more ruthless with cutting carbs and eventually just fast. The fasting seems to have done the job as i hardly see any rise after eating and if i do my body is able to get it down into non diabetic levels within the 2 hr period. I am also able to tolerate more carbs now too... so yes i suffered at the beginning but is exactly what my body needed as tested nearly 10 times a day just to find out what was going on with me. I am now more lenient with myself as i see that my body can deal with it but dont want to reverse all the hard work i did. I have dropped several dress sizes in just 4 months so pretty pleased, i seem to have hit a plateu with the weight or it may just be because i have relaxed a little bit with my eating!

Bgl yesterday morning 5.2 today is a fasting day this morning was a 5.8 so desperately need to fast again and then really get back on the diet (i tested to see i i could cope with some crisps!!!)

Hba1c booked so really stupid of me to get tempted now.. must be close to the time of month as really hungry so need to me another batch of my low carb savory muffins.... mmmmmm

I have a problem with my diet as although I have been able to come off Metformin with LCHF I have lost 2.5 Stone in the past year and look very thin which at first was good but now although it has slowed down it still creeping down. I also have high cholesterol and take a Statin for that. I try not to eat dairy fats because of it. I just don't know what else to eat to stop this weight loss. I am underweight now at 8 st 3lbs
