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

[itchyfeet]

Morning all
5.6 for me today

 

[phil1966]

Back to normal for me with a nice low 4.9 and no spikes at all yesterday. Headache's gone too so there must have been a link between the two!

Morning All

Finished with work for a while so had a bit of a lie in this morning. First test was 4.1, which is a bit low for me and I usually feel it when it drops into the low 4s, so I did it again and got 5.1.

Quite happy with that.

Bit of grafting in the garden today before going to Spain on Monday - Spanish ATC permitting.......

Since you're going on the European Continent we expect figures in mg/dl as well lol

5.8 this morning

Lorraine !! Where have you been? How's you ? Hope your diabetes is well under control now.

6.6 this morning, more or less as expected. Not great, though.

Morning all 6.1 with a head from hell

Chin up @oldman1954. Maybe it's time to visit your GP again. You're so obviously suffering, & it's energy sapping hun. Perhaps discuss a pain clinic referral. It would be useful for your other pain related disorders too. I wish you all the very best. Hope this cheers you up.......

5.3 this morning, all is well

Tramadol is great I take 100mg twice a day for nerve and muscle pain relating to my genetic disorder

 

[Alisonjane10]

8.4 feeling ****

Hope you feel better very soon @BigAl57. Is it your Diabetes that's making you feel so rough? It's not always easy managing this disease I'm afraid hun. Sometimes it's good to chill out with whatever makes you feel good, & just forget about the BIG D for a while there. I put my iPod on, lie down & listen to Van Morrison. It helps. Take care hun.

To make you feel better, this one's for you........... Btw, he was running a half marathon. X

 

[eddie1968]

5.7 this morning, following a 6.1 @ 22.00 yesterday night.
Had my blood test fot HbA1c and cholesterols done today, results hopefully on Monday, appointment with Diabetes Consultant Tuesday pm, hoping for the better
Weight dropped to 115.8 Kg, which is another 1Kg / 2.2 lbs in a week ;-)
Have a g'day folks :-D

1kg in a week is fantastic...every kilo counts. I remember being 105kg, now a more respectable 88kg. Your diabetes improves with weight loss to normal levels...keep going !

 

[eddie1968]

5.3 this morning, all is well

I don't drink alcohol anymore since diagnosis in 2010...but I love the wine glass in your avatar...made me laugh lol

I'm getting peeved with my "ALL OVER THE **** PLACE" morning blood glucose readings. This morning it was 6.4 fasting. It drops into the low 5,s pretty quickly for the rest of the day...and I never spike more than 2mmols after meals. I know it's lower than many, so maybe I'm being hard on myself. I don't want to be Alison the Diabetic...I want to be Alison who has a life, which includes Diabetes. I don't want to live so strictly that eating becomes a chore. My mental health is just as important.

Right!! Took 5 minutes before completing this post. Gonna review my portion size of treats & modify them so I can continue to eat a little of everything. PLUS, I'm gonna go put my music on & shake my booty around the kitchen. Have a great day folks. Good health to us all. X

 

[eddie1968]

Lol Alisonjane...I used to swing between the low 3's then into the upper 20's in a morning...terrible times then. Now not so bad lol
