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

5.7 this morning on batch 61 - no batch 44 left to compare, so let's see if 61 behaves itself!!

5.7 (again) at 5 am. Then a 5 hour drive to Kent, train to London, hastily snatched lunch of olives and feta eaten standing up on the Piccadilly Line, 3 hours lecturing to undergraduates, train back to Kent. Not surprisingly pre-dinner was 6.1, tired, a bit dehydrated and liver confused! Had a chicken and chorizo skewer with salad and a glass of Shiraz, +2 a bit more settled at 6.3. We'll see what tomorrow brings.

Absolutely nothing wrong with that diet. Don't worry about your fasting levels. They are always the last to come down, and there are so many things that affect it that are out of our control. It will drop eventually, most likely when you have lost some more weight - and well done on the loss so far, that is a great achievement. One thing you could do is to test at bedtime, then you can see if you are rising overnight, or if your bedtime reading is higher than desirable. Do you test as soon as you get out of bed? That is the best time, definitely before you start pottering about.

Bluetit1802 thanks for advice I normally do it just about 1 hr after i get up just before breakfast Willl try when getting up thanks

I am still eagerly awaiting for you to post your results
A comparison between 44 and 61 would be even better I guess
