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

[msmi1970]

stopped monitoring for a bit as i was on a nut binge & the occasional diabetic chocolate treat...
gained almost 6 lbs...ridiculous.
regained some discipline in the middle of last week. thankfully, lost that 6 lbs. hope i never find it again...
5.6, 5.5, 5.4 over the last 3 days...

We all have the odd binge once in a while. I am fighting the old steroid munchies so know what you mean

for me, it's a nasty habit i developed since childhood..always munching.
as i have stopped eating the sweet stuff, i binge on nuts with unparalleled vengeance..
then, sanity returns, normally about a week later..
next time, i think i will try those homemade zucchini crisps instead..

Of course it will! Just keep the blinds on;-)

Good luck with that. Hj

Thank you both!

Luckily, I fell asleep and kept my eyes closed. Feel significantly better - just a slowly fading headache now.

Blood glucose has stayed same at 6.8 mmol / L but, that's to be expected?!

How are you getting along with your knees ? hope progress is good and pain+ swelling is very low.

Hi Pasha , it's a long process getting mobile but things are getting better.

5.7 before bed 5.9 )))))) this am. Have different manufacturer of my metformin so wondering if that's making a difference as when I had this tyoe rhe other month my sugars were in the 5's then changed brand and back in 6's!!!!!

When ever i collect my metformin and the brand changes i always see a difference in readings. Even though they are generic same formula different manufactures.thought it was me.prefer oval to the round ones

7.2 - my lowest since diagnosis 3 weeks ago when I was 17.3 fasting.

You must be doing something right

 

[pamofdoncaster]

Problem with that is I'm a vegetarian and have been for
20 years so used to filling up on carbs and there's only so much you can do with eggs and acorn. Anyway had a good day today just need to keep going.
