that is brilliant!!!!

Mine seem to have stuck round 10.4 the last few days. Yesterday my +2hrs after evening meal/before bedtime reading was 6.9

So it must be DP to the max :(
 
Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn

unfortunately that's with 5 units of insulin now, so is cheating a bit.

I notice from your sig that you're on 1000mg Metformin - they must be like hockey pucks :shock: I find 850mg hard enough to swallow.

SNAP 5.0 as well Swimmer
 
Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn

5.9 today, which is a real wake-up call considering I had 3 weeks under 5.2 (and mostly under 5) in late Feb/early March. I must get back in control!

However - on the plus side, it was 'only' 5.9, which considering I've been way over my normal carb intake, is not bad!

I meant to get weighed after my shower this morning, but completely forgot :shock: . There are obviously some things my subconscious does not want to know :lol: . I put on a T-shirt this morning which was slightly too tight last year. It's now on the large side, but still shows far too many curves where curves shouldn't be :( .

I'm gardening every day in this gorgeous weather, plus I managed to walk half-a-mile two days ago to get to and from a site I'm doing some work on. Sounds feeble I know, but very good for me! Also I'm going on the exercise bike at the gym 3 times a week, so there are lot of plusses about :D

these are good numbers people :D

Viv, you're in a beautiful part of the country - will you be able to get out and about instead of the gym now it's warmed up? Gyms are so depressing.

i got used to downing pills now...the metformin 1000mg is a bigger pill but it just goes down in one go with two others in the morning :)

6.1 today - pleased with that. Would like it lower but can live with this.

I hope to, Swimmer2, but not until my legs are stronger. The physio at the Spinal Rehab Unit doesn't want me to do any load-bearing exercise (in which he includes long walks or the treadmill) until my legs and body-core muscles are stronger. Also, being unfit, I don't breathe as well as I should, so I can't really do hills - of which we have plenty! One of those vicious circles - I can't walk very far so I don't, which means I can walk even less! The exercise bike is working. Gardening helps - though it can be an effort to get up, as I have very little strength in my right leg. I get up like a cow - a**e first :shock: Not a pretty sight! :lol: Talk about load-bearing exercise :roll:

Our gym is tiny and do-it-yourself - no slim girls in lycra, or superfit gods and goddesses, or fast sweaty routines-to-music - in fact if I time it right, I can get the place to myself :P .

5.6 for me. That was after eating Burgen bread last night, so it is safely back in my menu.

This is the reason I started swimming - once I'm in the pool the most embarrassing bits of me are underwater.
 
Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn

4.8 First time ever in the 4's and didn't get up until after 9.00am :D

Fantastic! I look forwards to the day I get a 4. something.

I was 5.9 today.
 
Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn

I am back to 6.2 after the highs from my naughty day on Thursday.

Thanks unbeliever my levels have been really good the last 3 or 4 days and are averaging in the high 4's. Not sure why the sudden improvement but not complaining. Back to 5.3 today but I did do the Indian takeaway thing last night so not too bad.
 
Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn

4.6 a new DP low :D
