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

5.1 - down from 6.1 yesterday. With my nurse"s advice I dropped the evening Gliclazide a couple of nights ago as for a week my numbers were low 4s with two 3.5s.

Hi @Prettypinkpetals and welcome to the forum. Try not to stress about your bs levels, that will probably raise them.
It is a shock when you get that diagnosis and takes time to get your head around it all, but you can control your condition. There is a lot of useful advice and support on here.

@Nicksu Above 7.7 is in the diabetic range. 7.0-7.7 is in the pre-diabetic range. Below 7.0 is non-diabetic.
Well done on getting down to pre-diabetic level, you should be able to get down further into the non-diabetic range now.
This is a chart which shows the bs range:

 
Thank you for that - it makes me feel a bit better - still room for improvement (plus further weight loss!). LCHF is so the way to go.
