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

Freema said:
well thats crazy... worrying... maybe look on you total number of calories and get a little under what your daily needs are...

in old day calorie restriction was one of the tools too... but to some it is difficult... I use sugar free gum to stand the low calorie some times of the day... and tea of all kinds... and even apple cider vinegar like one spoon full in a big glas of water...

I am generally under my allowance each day.. I will see what happens tonight!

yes haha ... look at the fun side of it all, but do you count your proteins as well ?

I found that the very many proteins i ate made my morning numbers much higher (like 140 grams of proteins a day) ... now I restrict proteins as well.... when I don´t know what to eat I eat Brazil nuts actually bought in UK from bulkpower ... bought 3000grams and therefor didn´t pay porto.... about 28 £ and then I have enought for many many month, they are packet in vacuum and only 500grams a packet

I don't count proteins Freema, but I don't think I have that many... for instance yesterday I only had some mince and a couple of ounces of cheese as far as proteins are concerned. I had carrots, a couple of LC rolls, LC Cake, and three creamy coffees... hmm.. cant remember what I had for breakfast! Today so far I have had 2x egg omelette, two LC rolls with salmon pate.. and two coffees

no but the low carb cake has something else in it and it is probably not only fats so I guess it is rather high in proteins and also the rolls ....
1 egg has about 7 grams of protein.
cheese is very high protein usually also like 20 grams of protein of 100 grams...
salmon is more protein than fats about 20 grams pro 100 grams..

all healthy things but high in proteins
I weigh 90 kg now and should have a Little less than 90 grams of proteins a day, I choose 80 grams
a little less than 1 gram pro kg body weight

well I´ll leave the subject now... you are the only one that can find out if you get too much or not... and maybe you do not get too much... and the problem is elsewhere

the rolls are egg whites.. almond flour and psyllium husks. The cake also has almond flour, eggs, and chocolate. Mr E is sleeping just now so I cant ask him what else it has. I may have it wrong but weren't we talking about the reasons for me having a hypo :)

oh sorry, thats hard to say but when the other blood glucose numbers are so relativly high I would think the Lows are due to something with your insuline that is not excactly in place, but actually I know nothing of insuline taken as medicine

egg white is pure protein

LOL...Nor do I Freema... I don't take insulin I take Byetta/Exenatide which is a pre-insulin I believe ...not sure if that is a true description of it though. BS currently 6.8

4.4 is a really good number Nicksu. May I ask why you are stressed?

Boss is driving me mad - a case of OCD shall we say - he's out for 2 days from the end of today so my stress levels will come down - chill man! Sometimes I just get so wound up with him!
