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

[Brunneria]

I haven't done that much exertion since i started testing. In fact haven't done that sort of daytime exertion for years.

Gosh, that leads to a little speculatious wondering as to what your nighttime exertions are...

 

[NoCrbs4Me]

5.5

 

[AndBreathe]

4.0 for me this morning. All is well on Planet breathe.

 

[Mandingo]

Woke up late 11:00 this morning. An eye watering 6.4 this morning. A big thank you to my enlarged prostate "NOT"

I think we are all doing fantastically well...just imagine all of our doctors faces when we all go back for our next blood tests! Before long they will be encouraging all diabetics to follow a low carb diet!!

!I can't understand why they don't already. Sure they want us not to drop into remission zone.

I'll ask my diabetic expert nurse when I see her next month.

I was hoping no one spotted that. I also know human nature as I would have spotted it too, I knew I should have reworded it. Certainly don't need insulation at night time!. LOL. WOW ! The entertainment you get on here and its all free

report back if your still alive !

 

[beatdise]

It could be, or it could have been a rogue reading (did you re-test?) I always go up after exertion (housework type exertion) but not that much!

Thanks and Well done for qualifying the housework type exertion. Otherwise @Brunneria would have started speculisationing. Didn't retest. Was down to 6.2 an hour later though.

Usually when I mention a low carb diet I just get a horrified look on their face and they insist I need to eat carbs. Lots of carbs. I'll try to press on with some follow up questions next time, like "but that will kill me eventually!". Although, I guess that's not really a question.

Just ask WHY - should do the trick ;-)

4.3 mid morning, slept in late been in Frankfurt for the weekend, took the meter but didn't use it had a weekend off.

Very naughty I know, but sometimes has to be done.

Life will kill me eventually.
But, bo*****s to it, I'm still going to give it a go.

What are you talking about?

Guess his saying we should have the courage to live our life's on our own terms.

But it is past midnight where I am so I'm probably missing the point

5.8 this morning.

Are you saying he is calling me a coward for not eating lots of carbs?

 

[Sable_Jan]

Don't think so.

'Lots of carbs. I'll try to press on with some follow up questions next time, like "but that will kill me eventually!".'

I intend to live life, to the best I can. Eventually something will kill me.
I could spend my life, simply trying to stay alive, but I'd miss out on doing ll the things I like doing, so, tbh, I see little point in doing that.
Carbs won't kill me, they may help me enjoy getting down that road though,
But eventually, after a long and happy life, life will decide it doesn't ant me any more.
And so long as I've made the best of that journey, I'll be satisfied with my allocated time.

edit - no, I'm not saying you're a coward. I'm saying I have a different diet, that works for me, and I am happy with the entire lifestyle I have, as you are with yours.
But life will catch up with me, eventually.
But even though I, personally, eat carbs, they won't kill me.
