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

Status
Not open for further replies.
Bedtime - 6.9 - after a day on the road, a skipped meal and no exercise
Fasting - 6.0!
 
4.3 this morning - my lowest ever fasting figure
It might have something to do with playing squash with my daughter yesterday: something I would never even have considered doing 3 months ago!
 
6.5 after a carb fest last night and this was after an hour. Did not do 2 hour reading
5.6 fasting.

Welcome Croc... Are you low-carbing? There is a collective pool of information here that you can dip into any time you like... someone will probably be able to answer any questions you might have... you are never alone with your problems here...

Brilliant!
 
5.2 this morning. Felt quite drained for a while yesterday evening but post supper 5.8 very heartening. Plodding on!

I try but its hard because I have and always have had a huge appetite and can eat loads without putting on weight. Without at least some carbs I'm starving. I try and stick the the quartering the plate thing.

For now im happy with the 6's. The one time I went under i was really rough and sick. My body is so used to running in high BS levels I think.
 
I don't think sixes are particularly high .... for a diabetic.
Could be better but I'm not convinced there's much to worry about till you get to 8 ... mid sevens maybe.
I could be wrong though as I often am and if anyone wants to tell me off I'm fine with that.

That seems to be my trend too... my liver dumps every morning almost... It's still not a frightening number though... Are you feeling better? If you don't sleep properly it affects your whole day...

Yes, I'm feeling better as my urticaria has slowly subsided over the last few days. as it always does. I'm just plodding on with low carbs and hoping my second HbA1c results will be improvement on my first. Thanks for asking.
 
5.8 am after 6.2 last night on the SD
5.1 am after 5.9 last night on the Bayer
Been doing a side by side and most of the time they are pretty close, slope is 0.9 with an intercept of 0.4....
