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

[Mbaker]

3.8 today. Day 4 of liquid only fast. Hope it doesn't drop further!

i go to 3.2's when fasting, so you may be able to also. listen to your body, if you feel shaky, then maybe have a quarter of carrot and check your blood sugar 30 mins later.

Welcome @Anniya84 . Not so fast with the can't control if you please. It may take some changes and stumbles along the way - and may need other interventions - but stick around, Read, post, ask, test and feel the love in the room

8.7 today. Not sure why I'm so high lately. Will have to be more careful about my food choices. I normally average mid 6s.

Been thinking that since the clocks moved back some BG figures have been slightly higher than normal any thoughts ?

Good morning all 6.3 for me this morning and 6.7 yesterday Another 3.4Kg off so pleased with that Have a good day everyone.

That should help the confusion immensely Good numbers though, just tough it out ( I believe one might refer to you as a tough old bird at this safe distance)

Ha I’ve been called a lot worse so I’ll take that

Thanks, @ianpspurs! I have been drinking water and walking around the office when I can, but I am now only down to 14.2 and it's lunchtime. I am questioning if I should have my lunch at all or hang in there until the bs levels drop a bit more?

do you eat less than 100 grams of carbs in total daily ? , if not then try this from now on

Depends on what is in the lunch basically. A good place to start with for ideas is this thread

Hope that helps. Drop from 19 is going in the right direction

Hi all, not able to test today as am waiting for strips to arrive, feels odd to have no idea about my numbers, I don't feel any different though and apart from my pumpkin soup not having anything new so should be OK until I get home.
Horrible weather here today, dark, blustery and heavy showers.

Thanks, @Freema, I will try that. To be honest, I haven't been paying much attention to the carbs (my bad!). I don't really eat biscuits or bread, maybe once a month I would have a craving. I thought that because I don't have these carby things in my regular diet, I'd be alright... Going to 'shop around' the forum for low carb dinner ideas.
