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

[Angelofthemarches]

Well done!!

Wow @ally1 your FBG continues to go down and down - wry well done

Thank you. I do get the odd reading in the 6,s but alas so very few.

5.6 this morning, that three under 6's in a row. Can't work out why

Good Morning! 4.6 at 0630 today. I don't know why, but I didn't eat during the day and had some chicken and fried rice for supper, and 4 glasses of red wine.

A mysterious 6.8 I thought I had been a good boy yesterday must try harder (repeat 5 times!)

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

Thank you for making me smile this dull windy morning. Nice 4.8!!

Avoid the meds if you can. I came off after 4 months on them due to exercise LCHF combo brining my FBG consistently down to the 5s. Good luck

Thanks. Trying hard. Exercise and lower carbs. Probably not low enough on carbs. Not sure how you guys measure but I just try and leave out the obvious.
Anyway, back to thread.
