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

[Tim55]

Morning All

5.1 for today.

No alcohol for me today, prior to tomorrows hospital visit, so I'll see if I have a higher reading in the morning.....

Anything under 6 is still in the normal range, @Keesha, so you're doing well. It's also normal for BG readings to fluctuate a little, but as long as you're continuing the trend in the 5s I don't think there's anything to be concerned about. Hugs x

Thank you Debrasue, for your encouragement and positive thoughts. It is a bit scary when you see the trend going up. Hugs to you too.

Thank you @asparagusp it was indeed

I do too and little bit of what you fancy doesn't do you harm!

In case it was missed earlier - "It is known that beta blockers like Propranolol are bad news for diabetics. However not all cause hyperglycemia. ACE inhibitors are better."

That's a very bold statement you make there. For those interested, or perhaps concerned, could you please post the source of that information.

Note to anyone taking this medication: Please do not alter your medical regimes without consultation with your Doctor.

Morning FBG 6.8

It's on the American Diabetic Association website. Chemists too told me. I myself have had trouble with post prandial high readings and decreased urine output. I have come off the medication and my sugar levels are better.

I was not advocating just stopping. Talk to a doctor first. I did.

I didn't suggest you advocated anyone altering their meds. I merely reminded folks not to do anything hasty, in changing meds or how they take them.

If you wouldn't mind posting the link please. Thank you.

"Heart Hang-Ups
Beta blockers and thiazide diuretics, which are used for the treatment of high blood pressure, have been linked to elevated blood glucose, though the connection is not as strong as it is with steroids. Statins, used to lower cholesterol, also are associated with raised blood glucose." ..... http://www.diabetesforecast.org/2015/nov-dec/medications-that-raise-blood.html

Thank you. I'm sure some will find that very helpful.

You are welcome.

5.7 this morning after a 5.4 last night, my lowest yet

 

[asparagusp]

You did eat last night Trescoe? lol With a reading like that I would have been worried about a hip during the night!
