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

I think you are doing really well, mine was in the 20s when first diagnosed so it can be dropped. Just can take a wee while, pat yourself on the back for the progress ;)

Jello Lainie71. & Thank you for the encouragement. It does feel like a kick in the tabs, when it's not as low as I thought it would be, or the spikes get bigger.
The encouragement helps and I don't feel so alone with the issues.........Thanks

15.9 this morning. After quite some exercise yesterday, and good eating, and doubling up on Metformin, at least it's going in the right direction, slowly...:)

Today's FBG reading isn't great, but you must be pleased it's still heading in the right direction.

You’ll learn most from blood glucose levels just before you start a meal and then two hours later. The post-meal reading should be no more than 2 mmol/l higher than the first and not higher than 8 mmol/l. If that's the case, your body dealt with the arrival of glucose in your bloodstream and cleared it relatively quickly.

If you can achieve that consistently (by reducing your carbohydate intake where necessary), your FBG levels first thing in the morning should gradually come down.
