4.7, continuing the trend started at the beginning of last week when I finally began the Newcastle Diet. That saw my fasting levels drop sharply from the 6s and 7s they had always been.
I'm now 10 days into it and have lost 12 lbs.
That's quite a shift. Well done.
Sean - are you T1, or T2? I note you take Metformin and insulin.Have any of you been told like I have by my diabetes doctor from hospital if I drop below 5 and into the 4s I need to get some glucose down me as under 5 is dangerous for a diabetic? I went to see him Monday and was concerned my blood sugars were still anything from 8-12 but I got told by him that was a fantastic reading as a diabetic he said that he would expect ne to average what I am and usually only none diabetics would get readings of 7 or lower. He also told me if I did drop below 5 then their was a very good chance I would pass out due to having a hypo so to make sure if I got to anywhere in the 5 region to get my sugars up using anything with lots of sugar like lucazade. Just wondered cos a lot of you are saying you are down to 4 or 5s.

Diagnosed prediabetic Easter 2014. Just left to get on with it, no guidance or help from GP. Every day I'm learning something new.
Watch out for that "pizza effect". It's notorious for fooling folk into thinking they didn't spike too much, then takes effect 8 or more hours later!
