Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn
Could do, Lucy - and possibly you too, Bigfatpaulie. Your livers have possibly given each of you a massive glucose dump to make up for lack of food - it can happen! A small carb/fat snack at bedtime - a couple of oatcakes with some butter and cheese, for instance - can help some people with high 'Dawn Phenomenon'- type fasting readings. Lots about DP on this forum.

I'll try that tonight as I do like Jacobs crackers,butter and cheese and 1 or 2 of them before bed would be no hardship!
Admittedly I did skip dinner yesterday as I couldn't get my blood sugar below 24 all day so I thought the fasting would help but not a lot it turned out.

7.3 this morning. 7.1 about 90 mins after breakfast (just a poached egg).
The FBG reading is a bit higher than of late (usually 5.8 - 6.5). I'm testing the effect of reducing metformins from 4x500mg to 2x500mg, but it could just be a random "glitch". The plan is to drop the rest of the metformins before the end of this month - and then do whatever is necessary to get my HBA1C below 6.5 (ideally below 6.0) by my next annual review in July 12.
If possible, I'll just continue with a low carb diet - but if FBG doesn't drop back below 6.0 soon, I'll might have to bite the bullet and try a hypocaloric diet (a la Newcastle study).
