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

fbg. 6.1 at 8:45

did eat 210 grams of carbs here among 150 grams of pasta (no go in that amount from now on) did excercises 1650 calories at the fitness yesterday.... seems the lower carbing is the way more than excercise. but today I am not going to excercise and if my numbers are lower tomorrow it may be still from the excercise... as my liver could be compensating the excercise last evening, bad sleep as well up 4 times, didn´t sleep untill after 3:00

5.6 today. A bit surprised cos I finished off a bottle of white wine and the last of the mince pies. Found oppo ice cream at the local co-op. It calls to me every evening. Resisted so far. Would be churlish to ignore for much longer.
Click to expand...

Once you've done Oppo you can't go back ... nice numbers today, especially if you had mince pies
 
My BG is 5.3mmol/L on waking, so, very pleased this morning. I took the Hypo Awareness module here and found it very helpful even though I'm not using insulin. I still get the hypos cause of my running and exercise routines... so I thought best to take it.
 
Suckered again by Accu-Chek

Tested as usual, just before making Coffee......5,7

Thought process: That's unusually high, but never mind, I'm still breathing.

Make Double Espresso and half fill Mug

Voice in head: That was a strange reading, nearly 1 mmol/l higher than normal.............................what if ???

Main Brain says: OK, if you must I'll do another.

Test again.....4.8

Make second Double Espresso and fill rest of Mug and put in teaspoon of cream.

Voice in head: What if the first one was right and the second was wrong ? ..............................................what if ?

Main Brain: Oh shut-up you fusspot !!!!

Voice: What if ???

Main Brain: Oh OK then, just to shut you up !!!!

Test again, left hand this time and ...............4.8 again

So thank you Accu-Chek, you win again..............3 tests done to tell me what I already knew before I started
 
Yes. You've just made me realise why my fbg was so low. Lots of activity yesterday thanks to better painkillers. Thank you for your post, it has really helped.
