OK Stevolution you've got me beat -- I was 6.7. Keep going at this rate and you'll beat everyone.

No way -- if you were lucky then you wouldn't have got diabetes in the first place :lol:
 
Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn

Yesterday 5.7 :shock:
Today 4.7 at 6.30am, have really bad man flu :(
 
Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn

4.5 this morning :) still a bit too low for what my endo would like.... during the day I seem to be getting higher numbers lately though. Had cramp near my laryx since yesterday arvo :x
 
Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn

That's excellent Steve and Desert Diva.

I'm 5.1 this morning.
 
Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn

Not been on for a while :( but...... this morning I was 5.4, not that bad as I had very bad food last night. :)
 
Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn

Confession time - I've lost all sense of discipline over the last 5 or 6 days, eaten far more carbs than I should, and had several morning readings in the high 5s - 5.8 today.

Sorry if this sounds to be whinging to those of you struggling to get down to a level I'm complaining about :). I was diagnosed very early with a fasting BG of 9, so I've not had a long way to get down. But eating too many carbs has a disastrous effect on me - I've been over 110g daily, probably nearer 170g yesterday, and I've put 7lbs on :shock: :(

I was getting over-confident because I was waking up between 4.7 and 5.2 for about 12 weeks - didn't seem to matter what I ate! Okay during the day, too. But when I really upped the carbs (mostly bread) - up goes the BG.

Just goes to show - you can control it, but you can't cure it. I'm still diabetic :wink:

By all means beat yourself up a bit Viv, but you know that 7lbs is just water on your liver cos' you've carbed up, and not "real weight". (Remember: although it's not real weight when you put it on, it counts as real weight when you lose it, so forget all about the blip and then give yourself a big pat on the back for losing 7lbs in a few days time).

Thanks for that, Borofergie - you've cheered me up!

DOn't be too kind, though - my willpower is still wavering a bit :crazy:

A fasting blood glucose test also called a fasting plasma glucose, or FPG test. Many doctors prefer the fasting plasma glucose test because it's easy, fast and inexpensive. My morning fasting blood sugar is always the highest of the day—between 120 and 140 mg/dl.

Yes Viv happens to me quite often. If I "carb up" at the weekend I can gaurantee to put on a couple of pounds by Monday / Tuesday, always gone again by the end of the week.

4.7 at 6.00am this morning.
 
Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn

5.0...and I'm sure scar tissue is forming on my fingers :shock:
 
Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn

6.9 which surprised me as I was expecting it to be higher.
 
Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn

5.7 this morning.... feeling like I have a hypo hangover though. :(
