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

7.2 this morning went down to 6.0 after physio this afternoon. If today blood tests and gray comes back ok i should be able to go home on Wednesday (fingers crossed). Been naughty this evening though and had a small piece of Dads homemade fruit cake
 
@Mandingo the same HbA1c testing kit that Miller Medical Supplies is also available from www.bhr.co.uk at £99 for 10 tests, or £180 for 20 tests. I have bought from Miller before, but I intend to try bhr next time. They are very good tests providing a result in 5 minutes, which certainly for me matched up very well with results from the doctor's tests.

The game today has gone silly with me. After my bad start fasting at 6.2 with previous tub and consequently high before lunch, I've been in the 4's and 5's all day since after lunch, even at 1 hour testing. Most strange, but I do like this new tub I just opened.
 
6.4. Lunch was great yesterday...started with a prawn and mango cocktail. It was not large then Indian lamb cutlets with more salad. Stuck with steak and mushrooms for dinner. Decided to have an afd....that's alcohol free day.
 
At that price I'll stick to my normal testing

I Had BBQ steak no sauce , toss salad and side order of pasta salad for dinner this evening , just checked my sugar levels and 7.7 (2 hours after) , , readings have been awesome all day
 
My goal is to lower sugar levels, lower cholestrol levels and maintain a healthier body weight , i wanna loose 40 - 45 pounds , I've done it before i can do it again
 
So, another yucky 4.8 for me this morning. I actually retested it this morning as I had thought last night I might be making some progress. Last night I was 4.7 before dinner (more acceptable as postprandial reading, for me), then 4.1 after. The postprandial reading was about right for “my usual” for this sort of meal; spiced chicken breast, with salad, dressing and a few croutons. Of course, the 4.1 could have been rogue, but I didn't retest that one.

But, this morning, back up to 4.8, so I’m hoping this is just a sign I’m not at my most relaxed, but that should be clearer within a few days, once I’m settled into the other end. I've done this trip and the reverse, a few times since diagnosis, and didn't miss a beat, in terms of readings, but hey ho,

So, today will be airline food. I said after last time I wouldn’t order a diabetic meal, but I have relented. Of course, it will be old styleeeee “Healthy Plate” based, but probably marginally better than the mainstream meal. As I’m travelling on my own, being served early doesn’t feel quite so bad, although I won’t be able to start eating until my neighbours are served, so here’s hoping the flight isn’t full!

Next time I check in my fasting level, I will looking out onto the deep blue, tropical waters. I can’t wait to feel the sand between my toes and the warm breeze in my hair, and I can’t wait to see my OH. I think he can’t wait to get his hands on a couple things I have in my bags!! Such is life.

Have a good day playmates, and see you on the other side.

<<<<< Me, in my shades, just so you'll recognise me.
