Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn
3.4 this morning! Repeated 10 mins later with the same result.
Woke with a bit of a hangover after reunion party last night and had a few drinks late after we got home.
I already know that I'm not very hypo-aware, since I've dipped almost this low (3.6) once or twice before (generally after a late drink) and not noticed anything amiss.
Apart from the mild hangover (and I remembered to drink a couple of pints of water before bed, so it was mild) I felt nothing at all unusual. Clear-headed, no shakes, just a minor headache and a bit thirsty.
This doesn't bode well if I should ever deteriorate to the point that I need insulin or other potentially hypo-inducing drugs, I guess.
I was drinking an odd blue cocktail - maybe my friend Andy has inadvertently discovered a cocktail that magically brings down fasting glucose....
I am *not*, of course, suggesting cocktail experimentation as a means of controlling fasting blood glucose, though I do find that the often-cited advice of a glass of red wine seems to work for me.
