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

5.5 this morning, but did have a lump of posh cheese and a few grapes for supper.
 
Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn

5.7 this morning.
 
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! :roll: They should be able to prescribe them :wink:

9 this morning and 6 2 hours after breakfast (did I mention how much I hate breakfast). Ate too much and had a few beers yesterday so expected.
 
Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn

Fasting-7.1 then had a small tin of baked beans/toast and it rose to 10.7 after two hours.

6.5 this morning - higher than I would like but after being ill when my BGs shot up to 10.7 I'm glad its heading back down in the right direction.h
 
Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn

5.2 for me today
 
Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn

Fasting-7.4 and 6.5 two hours later.
 
Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn

F-7.2 and 10,5 after two hours of food.
 
Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn

4 weeks on Metformin, down from 22 when diagnosed to 14 this morning. Long way off good, but it's an improvement.
 
Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn

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

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

8.8 fasting and 9.7 after breakfast.
