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

[Robbity]

Going down.... fasting 5.6 this morning

But going up to this evening to 8.0 before dinner...

If I could just banish afternoons and early evenings I'd end up with fairly decent readings all day...

Generally it seems that I'm often worse off now than I was when I'd only recently started low carbing/testing this time last year.

Ah..just discovered this thread. Hi all. Diagnosed T2 last week, and started testing on Thursday morning. That morning was 20.3, yesterday was 19.0, and this morning 17.1 - so, very encouraging so far.

Hi Alan, well done looking good so far

6.5 this morning was packing until 8.30 last night then had bacon, cheese and tomato with 2 Staffordshire oatcakes. So that will be the culprit. Not been that high in a morning for a long time. This moving lark is playing havoc with my eating pattern

Welcome to the gang! Apart from medication what are you doing diet-wise?

Hi Alan welcome, you look like you're doing the right things as your bs is coming down nicely, keep up the good work

Thanks Mike. I'm not rushing anything - there's a lot to learn so I just keep reading the many pieces of advice on this forum.

Great to hear it

5.0 this morning, thats more like it

 

[phil1966]

4.7 this morning so made the sub-5 fortnight

I'm especially pleased because it was my Daughter's school dinner last night and instead of thinking "I'll have a night off" we spoke to the caterers beforehand and they sorted me out a low carb meal (prawns and smoked salmon with no dressing to start, salmon with a salad for main course and no dessert). I also restricted myself to a couple of glasses of red wine so I'd have been a bit fed up if my run had been broken after doing all that!

That's great progress in a short space of time - well done and welcome

6·0 this morning
Hello everyone, I'm hoping that recording my fasting levels here will be an extra incentive to resist my usual evening urge to have a couple of beers.
