Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn

5.4 at 07:30. For some reason I'm in the 5s first thing at the moment, though I usually manage mid 4s or a bit lower by mid afternoon.

It's a beautiful day here today, despite a -2C start, and I'm just going to stagger to the post box - my exercise for the day!

Was feeling really down a couple of hours ago, but met my GP's great big hairy Wolfhound, had a hug and got lots of sticky kisses - all better now! :D :roll: They should be able to prescribe them :wink:

4 weeks on Metformin, down from 22 when diagnosed to 14 this morning. Long way off good, but it's an improvement.

Bigskip that's great seeing your numbers come down.
On a LC diet it will get better and better.


Mine is a bit high this morning. Im usually in the low 5's. Sometimes I have 4's when Im very strict with what I eat.
I registered 6.2 today, due to a cold now for two days.

It will get better as soon as I get rid of it.

Quite higher than I would like at 8.3 before breakfast of bacon and poached eggs plus a 500mg metformin tab. Then 7.8 2hrs after.

By being lower after breakfast than before, it shows you were probably under the influence of Dawn Phenomenon when you took your initial reading. DP is the hardest test to control, so very well done on your +2 reading.

Why is it called the Dawn phenomenon and not just the 'morning phenomenon'? I rarely ever see the dawn.

I will have to take the test when I wake up then again just before breakfast to see how much of a difference my liver makes. Is there any way of minimising it's affects?

Its was 9.0 this morning but, I went down the loacal last night and had a couple of beers with a steak and chips and didn't do my drugs ... naughty boy :lol:

Its usually around 8 give or take in the morning. Can get as low as 5's if I've exercised first.

I registered 5.0 this morning.

Expected it to be a bit higher due to me having a bit of a cold. Glad its within control.
