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

[JTL]

5.2 full blown man flu.

Sounds like a bingo call.

Unacceptable ......100 lines, "I must not eat carbs in my dreams."

OK, Mandingo. That's not much of a punishment though. I was once given 600 lines of "I must never, ever, ever, under any circumstances whatsoever, masticate sweetmeats during my mathematical lesson" !

Hi Mojo37
I exercise every week, I do Karate twice a week for 1 and a half hour each time. and eat health. Even if I have a low carb it goes up silly.

4.4 fasting. Post-dinner was 4.5. Running 6 days a week at the moment so that seems to be ironing out any spikes.

Apologies for the direct and to the point comment, but you can't eat things like muesli with numbers like that. You need to avoid carbs (apart from dietary fibre) like the plague to get your numbers under control. Muesli is stacked with carbs, not only from any dried fruit but also in the cereal in the muesli. At this stage I'd ignore any advice about good or bad or GI carbs, just cut carbs out as much as you can.

Thanks vit90 you have helped me cause I didn't realise dried fruit had that many carbs.

Dried fruit is worse for us than fresh fruit. In a spoonful of raisins there are 8g carbs and 9g in sultanas, with no protein or fibre, so a wasted food.

Oh I love my rasians

I sort of meant 1/2 hr after your meal and maybe than will help bring your blood level down today ..I know 20 mins on the treadmill brings mine down ...when I have the will power which I haven't today lol

 

[mojo37]

Oh I love my rasians
