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

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

8.5 on waking today ... taken with Codefree meter

Don't know whether waking at 12.30 noon counts as 'morning' but I think my poles have shifted lately because I've been going to bed at 2-3pm and waking around 10-12noon. Most nights I've been sleeping right through the night for the first time in years, I wake up on the odd occasion when I'm turning over but nothing like the number of times I used to wake up before. Got to try to get back into the rhythm of a decent bedtime again but I'll probably have to do an all night sit up so I'll be tired enough to go to bed early. Almost every full moon I have a night without any sleep, it's almost 69% full so I'm about due for whole night without sleep in a few days time. I just don't feel tired on those occasions and I usually do my cleaning to pass the time. I think it must be my circadian rhythm adjusting to the earth changes.

4.3 this a.m. @6.45, a bit lower than my usual 4.6-5.1, probably due to a late oatcake snack warding off D.P. :crazy:

6.2 this morning, which is a little bit lower than normal, but I am always in the 6's

Quite pleased with my post prandial at the moment. Last night I was 5.4 before, 7.3 after 2 hours, and 5.4 again after 3, and that was with having a fairly carby spaghetti bolognese with 75g of Spaghetti.

Down to 6.8 on waking ... taken with Codefree, improvement on recent waking tests in the 8s.

Was starving this morning so had a big lamb chop for breakfast and am still hungry so going back for egg may filler on crackers.

7.2 this morning with Codefree and I'm hungry. Maybe it's cos I was reading The Scandinavian Diet until 2am? :lol:

16.3mmols this morning - I am just starting insulin - 10 units of Levemir - which has done nothing for reducing my blood sugars!

I am also taking Gliclazide - 2 tabs in morning and 2 at night.

My daytime results are absolutely horrendous, 3 of which, have been over the scale. Most are 26 mmols and over.

The GP surgery doesn't seem to want to take any drastic action, although the GP keeps saying they have to do something but all they are doing at the moment is Levemir at night - why won't they put me on NovoRapid during the day to control the blood sugar???

May be I am running before I can walk, but I just feel that they are pussyfooting about!!!
