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

Status
Not open for further replies.
4.3 this morning, which is the lowest for me for some time. Not quite sure why it was so good, as I was at 5.3 only 3 days ago. Off to see the DN this morning to review recent(ish) blood tests from 29th September, this was the first appointment I could get! Should all be good as my HbA1C was 34, and everything going pretty well.

3.8 this morning, my fasting range seems to have dropped a notch overall recently.

My fasting isn't fasting as had hot milk again at 3 am
10.2. I'm sure discomfort raises my bgs. Even so its a bit of a hike from my usual 8

Hope you feel better soon. I am sure pain is to blame for your increased glucose levels. Are you still on the bulletproof coffee and do you think that has something to do with your pain and troubled sleep lately?

I agree Pavlos. I stopped it yesterday. Maybe due to it all. Was quite a change to my diet..

I saw that it caused you to skip meals as well so I was wondering whether it was a good idea both nutritionally and from the point of view of trying to stop weight loss. You did enjoy it though!

If you're lower at 4:30 (and who knows when the rise actually starts), then although higher on rising, it would appear the rise isn't for a long period. It would drive me bonkers, but in the scheme of things, it may just be something you don't completely get to the bottom of. :(

What are you expecting/hoping the liver scan will show?

Yes it drives me bonkers too. It may be because my fasting hours are between 12 and 14 as I eat early at around 6pm and don't have anything except peppermint tea at bedtime or coffee with cream in the evening, but I haven't yet conditioned myself to snacking in the evening to shorten the fasting period.

I have an open mind about the liver scan. At worst it might show some liver damage caused by the methotrexate. It would just be helpful to solve the mystery

I can't put a "like" on here alliebee, because I don't like it for you! Hope you can have a rest today and get on top of your pain .
