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

NoCrbs4Me · Mar 18, 2015

5.8 - not bad after 3 days of debauchery in Las Vegas.

Did I say it would be back to healthy food this week? Oooh dear, let's just say I darent do my blood sugars at the moment. although I'm working so hard unpacking, cleaning, hanging curtains etc that I have probably worked it all off. Hubby goes back to work tomorrow so Will more than likely get loads done with him out the way

Hm, 6.0 this morning. I know some find a small snack before going to bed can be helpful so I had a handful of nuts before going to bed. Probably won't do that again.

I have (and have always had) at least some sort of supper in spite of doctor's "No No!!!"s - it helps me sleep through the night when I have a full tum, and now I've got diabetes, it helps stop my liver dumping (too much anyway...) in the mornings.

But as you say - not for everyone.

6.0 last night after a fish and chip supper (down from 8.5 at 2 hours) and 5.2 this morning

Me, too. I was 5.8 fasting after a 5.7 bedtime reading. Now I just need to k

I'm the same this morning Poshtotty in that I also got my first fasting five (see below) since I began testing at the beginning of February. Doesn't it feel good?

It certainly does after a whole chuffing year to the day of trying! You've done well in a very short time. Congratulations!

6.3 today. Good morning all

vit90 · Mar 18, 2015

I haven't tested for ketones but I am pretty sure my diet means I am well into nutritional ketosis. I have been doing some reading and it seems that in fat-burning ketosis mode slightly higher than average normal BG levels can be expected. My morning BG levels have ranged pretty much between 5 and 6 recently. The normal range for a non-diabetic is 3.9-5.5 according to this site. I'm not saying I am no longer diabetic but I do wonder if I've reached the target for my BG levels and that they aren't in the 4s because of ketosis. Will any further weight loss make any difference is the question? I am not horribly skinny but I'm certainly no longer even slightly podgy Ah well, whatever, I will have to pause next Tuesday as I'm abroad for ten days, of which the best part of 4 days will be on planes or in airports! But I will have my meter with me so that should be interesting!

5.7 this morning, higher end of my range, had gone to bed on 5.5. Feeling a bit out of sorts somehow, keep getting chills and just yuk, hopefully no bugs about to strike!

Salted popcorn is good, not sure of carb values off hand but consider the carbs per 100 g then imagine that weight in popcorn. A 25 g bag lasted me 4 days.....

Popcorn is ok for a treat. A 25g bag lasts me 4 minutes! :grin:

Lorraine deer · Mar 18, 2015

4.9 fasting at 6.30 then at 7.45 was up to 8.0
Pre lunch down to 4.8
Pre dinner 5.0

I'm absolutely fine, thanks for asking, Brettsza.

I've had a particularly busy few weeks, one way or another, and when I came away this time, I was a bit under the weather for a couple of weeks. Nothing to do with the big D; just one of those things, followed by another of those things!

To be honest, I don't bother posting on here any more as I'm now in a different time zone, and sometimes find it more than enough just reading back through the posts I've missed that UK morning. Sometimes it's several pages.

As my numbers rarely vary from my 3.5-4.5 range, I probably don't add much to the thread any more, as others' knowledge has grown. I still post from time to time though.

Nice to hear from you again though
