Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn

My fasting reading this morning was 6.3.
 
Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn

5.7 this morning and I am gobsmacked as last night I had curry,(shop bought), 2 chappatti, and an onion bargie, (excuse spelling). I have had worse than this after a smocked mackerel salad. Will never understand this crazy illness. :? :? :?

5.8 fasting


eta: 5.9 two hours post-breakfast + exercise
 
Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn

6.1 at 08:30 today. I'm finding it quite difficult to increase my carbs up to 150g per day for this GGT - my brain doesn't seem to want to eat them any more!

HbA1c back yesterday - 5.2, which I'm really pleased with. My total cholesterol was 5.7, which I don't have a problem with, but my total:HDL ratio was 5.7 also, and I'm not happy with that! My GP seems to have no problem with it, though. Everything else seems to be okay.

Well done Viv, 5.2% is excellent. Even better, you managed despite stuffing yourself with strawberries all summer!

I/ve heard a few people say this and a theory hat it could be the spices in the curry keeping levels low. Not a cuury-eater myself so can't comment from personal experience

Hmmm, it would be nice if that were true, but it doesn't tally very well with this:

Did you had a load of beer/wine with your Curry? That would do it.
 
Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn

Did have a couple or three glasses of wine. May have to repeat this experiment to see if it works again. :twisted: :twisted:

5.4 fasting

5.6 two hours post breakfast + exercise
 
Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn

Got up late and it had gone up to 7.3
 
Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn

5.2 yipee!!! 2hrs after breakfast 5, even better!! Finished work for a 10 day break so lack of stress could account for it. Any chance I can get a permanent sick note saying I'm allergic to my job? :lol:

Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn

7.1 fasting - not happy as I am frequently in the 7s these days :shock:
 
Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn

Hi all, had a shock this morn BS reading shot back up to 10.3 gggrrrr! :evil:
Been cranking up the levemir every week and had got some middle 9 readings, was both chuffed and relieved they were finally starting to come a bit lower than in the last 2years.
After this morn fasting reading, am not so convinced yet! :?

Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn

7.1 fasting
 
Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn

6.4 fasting, a little higher than usual as its normally 5. something.

8.0 2 hours after breakfast :shock: Tested twice, first test 8.5

My usual breakfast and it normally only puts me up by 0.5 ish at the most. Don't know why its such a difference today.
