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

[barriebanana]

Morning all 7.2 this morning
Couldn't resist some home made chips at quiz night last night

Good morning 5.8

4.9 this morning - again managed to squeeze in a walk before the rain arrived.

Met an old friend for coffee yesterday afternoon and against my better judgement I let her talk me into a slice of cake. Took the rest of the day for BG to recover to usual levels. And - I didn't even enjoy it that much - tasted far too sweet. Live and learn.

Good Morning! Another 6.2 at 0725 today, after second day of fasting.
Well being honest I did have 3 low carb Heck chipolatas at lunchtime.

8.0 this morning, but given the amount of ice cream I ate yesterday this is not surprising. Having a nice little holiday though

6.7 today have to stay away from m&s coldslaw even the reduced fat one doesn't help the BG

Evening all

Had a 7.3 this morning but after a day at the pool (bar) its now down to 4.6 with an Indian planned for tonight

6.5 this morning not bad since recovering from viral infection

[email protected] today. Happy with that.

I'm not 92, I'm an 18 year old with 74 years experience.

Morning all

6.6 for me today

8.3 today, another night with a sore back still and lots of dreaming. Had another read of Dr Michael Mosley's book the 8 week Blood Sugar Diet and I'm back on some of his suggested meals. Looking for a better result tomorrow.

Good morning comrades I had a few spells of bad cramps in my legs during the night so not sure if this has contributed to my higher readings this morning of 8.7 @ 7-30 .
Wishing you all a great day

Hello, sorry to hear of your cramp. Painful.

My sense of taste has changed too. A happy lesson to learn, you don't have to "resist" cake in the future. You won't be missing anything. A very nice 4.9

Often I find the low fat versions are worse for me

 

[GeoffersTaylor]

4.3 for me this morning. Isn't Merlot a wonderful thing?

Usually have the Morrisons deli version which is really good and doesn't spike my BG

My friend makes her own. No nasties can creep in that way. Can find out what she puts in it if you like

That would be good I've tried doing my own but never works out the same and I asked the guys at Morrisons as well how they do it but maybe they didn't tell all
