Be careful with nutmeg too, it can really damage your liver...

Woke up at 8.1 which is a bit higher than I'm used to/happy with :/ Will likely be diagnosed by next Tuesday. Now I'm hoping for some practical assistance in managing this thing...

I was 5.8 this morning.

But yesterday morning I was 7.5 (ate a bunch of carbs the night before...... )
 
Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn

Hey Folks,
I have only been diagnosed since Tuesday and started testing Saturday afternoon when my test strips arrived, my daily carb allowance was halved since Wednesday and portions reduced as well as a lot of processed food. Anyway, yesterday my fasting blood level was 5.9 and today its 5.7 tested via accuchek aviva nano.

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


Hi Paul. I am recently diagnosed T2 and have been looking through this thread to see what the other people were testing at. Yours was the only numbers that were close to mine. I am rarely under 10, even on my fasting test, and am regularly around the 12 to 13 and I hit 17 on one test 2 hrs after a very small 'careful' lunch. This is despite trying to be as low carb as possible and on 4x metformin per day. I am 50 yrs old and until 12 months ago was a regular gym goer and trainng for my second dan in shotokan karate. Now I have so little energy it is about all I can do just to turn up at the office every day. Have also been put on perindopril and am on atorvastatin. What exercise do you do ?? I used to enjoy lifting some fairly heavy weights, but always feel so rubbish now that it just does not seem possible to start training again.
 
Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn

I don't know what it was this morning, but yesterday morning I posted 8.8 and my last FGT at the doctors was 6.8, despite an almost 12 hour fast.....I'd love to have the results of my OGT back and see those before and after figures too.
 
Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn

This morning mine was 5.1
 
Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn

4.3 this morning, normally its between 4.4 and 5.1, with 4.4 being my most common reading.
 
Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn

5.7


Pav, your figures are low. I'm surprised your docs haven't suggested a decrease in medication?
 
Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn

The range is 3.9 to 5.5 mmols/l so I guess the docs will play safe until it drops below that. But, I think I would be tempted to see if I could go on diet and exercise alone if I was in Pav's situation, just to see how much was due to my efforts and how much was due to the medication.
 
Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn

Mine was 6.4 this morning. I had a fasting blood test at the doctor's last Friday and it was 8.3. Going for a glucose tolerance test next Friday.
 
Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn

I have been told two different sets of numbers by two different doctors at the same surgery.

7 and 13.4, 6.5 and 12.5

Because the first reading of the second set of numbers is under 7, that doctor told me I am not diabetic. Now feeling unwell with ketones and may bang down the surgery door in the morning.

Hi all...my morning reading is normally between 6.8 and 9 :-( despite trying really hard on diet alone...

For the last few days the highest has been 6.0 and the lowest has been 5.2. I am now using a SD Codefree meter so the readings could be a wee bit high.

Mine was 6.5 this morning despite being on a low/almost no carb diet for three weeks. Was double that pre diet though. Meds are 2x2met.

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

type 2 my fasting numbers are 5.3 to 8.6
 
Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn

Type 2, diet controlled only, and 5.2 this morning. Much lower than usual, but then yesterday I had a reading of 5.2 before dinner, 4.4 two hours later and 4.6 before bed. Most puzzled by this.
 
Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn

This morning it was 5.4 but typically it hovers between 4.8 and its never been above 5.6 since I started low(ish) carbing. :thumbup:
 
Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn

5.6 this morning, which considering I have a raging throat infection isn't too bad.
