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

[Susikav]

off to work in the freezing fog, oh joy........now if I can only find my rear fog light switch in my new car I will be happy

Having a new car is happiness... Keep a scarf over your face, it's horrid to breathe...

Morning, I am newly diagnosed as of September last year and following refusal from gp, testing for myself having sent away for a contour next and buying own strips and lancets.

Fasting - 8.2, lowest has been 7.4 on low does metformin since December, not sure if I should go back to gp.

Does the cold weather affect you? Or stress? My youngest son is hyper-sensitive to hay and pollen from the catkins in the spring... such a debilitating problem... I hope you feel better later...

Lots of things affect my chest cause i am brittle asthmatic and my genetic condition affects muscles and breathing. Yeah pollen sets me off from end of Feb - mould in the autumn. I only have a few months without hay fever

I think it was 68? in December, figures were sort of rushed past me and my nurse preferred old blood sugar system as means more to patients - she said my blood tests were coming up as converting to around 8.

Again this morning its up on last night!

Yep, it's 8.4 based on 68 reading.

Back to the GP for a complete (copy of the) reading of the bloods and then a long walk thru diet exercise and weight with you.

@daisy1 will be along with her terrific guide to help you thru this maze. Please read it ....... and PLEASE com back with questions

5.8 but didn't get to sleep until late, dog got me up twice and got bit of chesty cough on waking. Had 2 slices fruit loaf for brekky. Tested at teatime yesterday and barely a ripple in numbers dept, even doing a 2.5 hr as well...be interesting what I am 2hrs post brekky

 

[shonag]

Thank you - I've been lost to be honest and nurse (who is also a former running group friend) said by the time I get on Desmond with 10 month waiting list I would work out it before then, so up to me whether I went on the list. Started on low carb and walking again, just bought new bike and will have time off next couple of weeks as at uni on course which follows school terms. I'm finding it really difficult not to have sugar in my tea, tried fruit sugar not sure this is helping though. Not found any sweetener I can tolerate taste-wise.

5.0 before dinner
5.5 after but I only had some chicken but it's not a big spike I think
5.5 fasting but the kit was cold as I did not keep it in the room last night but I would take that

Good morning all be good boys and girls
