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

[JanetMcDowell]

After my holidays my fbg was 6.0 this morning.

No for 2 reasons , the first because I need to be higher in HbA1c before my GP may pescribe them to me , the second reason is my own ; the metformin tampers with my TSH levels ( thyrodea stimulating hormones ) so that it seems my metabolism is much higher than it in fact is ; which Leeds to my GP prescribing a too low dose of levothyroxine for me and me gaining around a 1 kg a week , my GP is so fixed on my TSH levels that she won’t listen to my arguments and also don’t see what a personal disaster it is to me gaining 1 kg a week she just closes her ears ... so no I need my metabolism to have the true levels of TSH, and the cost here is I get a higher HbA1c , but my last was 36 and I expect my next one to be around 38

You need to do what’s right for you.

An HBA1c in the 30s is normal.

Morning everyone, I was woken by RAIN at around 5am so took a reading, 5.6, which considering my day of eating very little in terms of quantity but lots more carbs than for a normal day I’m happy with. Will be much more controlled today, no memory lapses or naughty Indian extras

Sorry to burst in but my argument is if you can control your figures etc then WHY take metformin obviously if other medication is being taken it then becomes a different ballgame

Hope you had a lovely time Janet. That’s a good number to come back with.

Decided to take a day off from all the trials and tribulations of being a diabetic
Had lots of alcohol,kebabs,pies etc.

So unsurprisingly a woeful 7.1 today

Can you think of any reason? Diet, exercise ( or lack of) stress, sleep patterns etc, so many things come into play. Hope the sunshine improves your day.
