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

Status
Not open for further replies.

I had an intermittent sore throat for years.
It was one spot on my tonsil. Sometimes looked a little white and swollen. Always in the mornings. Would disappear by about 11am.
Eventually discovered that it was potassium deficiency.
Yeah. Bizarre. I know.

Now, when I wake up with that particular sore throat, I just have postassium supplements for a few days, and the problem disappears for weeks.

One of the (very few) perils of low carbing (that my body likes to throw out)

No idea if that little story is relevant to you, but it sure works for me.
 

Sorry to hear about your daughter. I know how awful it is, both as a person with the disorder and as a mum as my son has OCD and other anxiety issues. If I can help feel free to PM me.

Also with you on the night sweats. That's what sent me too along with the anxiety. Mine have improved but still get odd hot flashes. Last night was just pain all over my arms and right leg. The cold makes it worse.
 

Hi, Thanks for that peacetrain, although my figures at the outset were much lower than yours, what you describe above is not too dissimilar to what I am doing, maybe I'm not on so much fat as you and maybe have to increase it but I do eat all the meats. Certainly a great deal of veg's and lot of fish both oily like mackerel 3 times a week, salmon 2 x week and maybe some cod & tuna. I am not eating the bread every day like you, maybe twice a week 1 slice of seed sensations Hovis and a 1/2 Jacket potato is ok me. I may have to follow your lead I have never counted the Carbs I have all I know its low and my weight is still dropping. I can't move out of this regime as I had 4 new potatoes and a little pastry with gravy the other day, shot up to 11.3

I think you have reinforced for me, I'm not to far away from what I should be doing.
Thanks Neil
 
I will certainly pm you later, thank you! She is coming up 16 and that's too young to be like that. Bear with me as I have to go out at lunchtime but will back later x
 
7.2 here. Gutted after all those lovely 5's before and after meals yesterday

At least Monday's ultrasound indicated it could be my liver at fault and not my diet...

Happy Hump Day everyone
 
5.8 - cold but bright here in S Devon, nice day for a walk later.
 

Well done you. That is a brilliant result after having stopped all meds. Big clap from me.

5.7 at bedtime
5.7 this morning

I haven't really recovered blood sugar wise from my horrendous afternoon at the Health Centre yesterday. Trying to fast for my cholesterol test by missing lunch did not help, then being wound up by the inefficient new HCA that did all my tests, got my weight wrong by 5kg which I didn't realise till I got home so have to put that right when I see the DN. Got my height wrong by an inch, tried 3 veins to get blood and still failed so sent me down to see a "proper" nurse who managed first time, asked where I inject my insulin (!!!), was there 1.5hrs in total after being kept waiting, and hungry enough to eat a scabby donkey and all its hay. Not a happy bunny, totally pee'd off, so I had fish and chips with mushy peas for my tea and shot up to the 7's for over 3 hours during the evening.

The good news is, an HbA1c was included in the blood tests, which I wasn't expecting as it's not due till the end of the month. Results by phone on Thursday. At least my awful levels last evening won't get counted!!!!!!!
 

Ye Gods Bluetit. That was an ordeal!

Scary.

My Mr B had a work physical last week. Surprised at how large the BMI was. Checked the figs and discovered that the young lady had been using the women's chart, not the men's.

Now, the man doesn't have a beard the size of a bear pelt, or exude testosterone like The Hulk, but he is 6'1", broad shouldered and turned up with 3 days of stubble.

I'm guessing the girl needs glasses.

Mary Hopkin was my ex sister-in-law's best friend. Her parents came to our wedding. She wasn't able to come as she was touring in the States at the time. She was a lovely girl, far too nice and shy to be a celebrity, but what a voice she had!
