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

Alright, I've gone pretty ketogenic for the past week.

6.5 on Monday
5.2 Tuesday
5.5 Wedneday
5.6 Thursday
5.6 Friday
5.4 Saturday

So going down slowly to where I would like it to be. Have reduced my NovoRapid to next to nothing (~3 units, day) and my Levemir is down to about 60 percent. Still a bit cautious with the levels over night, but it seems incredibly stable. Got in a couple 4am tests, they say basically the same as my fasting glucose numbers, so might go to bed with a 5 instead of a 5.5-6 and see what happens.

On 8-10 percent cals from carb atm with a 20-25 protein intake and then you can guess where the rest comes from.

Trying to avoid too deep ketosis as I get a bit sick easily - seems I don't like being acidic, heh. On the other hand, I can snap my fingers and be in ketosis again, so not so worried. Haven't noticed the ketostick not reacting for this whole week - on other hand, I don't want to see it purple. Will try next week to see if I can get anywhere with some more alkalising minerals...

GM 5.4 WOW thats a 1st for me the only thing i have changed is not having an apple and an orange ,could that be the answer

It could be; medium apple is 21g carb, medium orange is 12.8g. Try having just one, either/or; or replace with berries - I have some great strawberries in at the moment :D .

I was 5.3 @ 08:00 today - probably too many strawbs! :lol:

4.8 at 06:30 this morning - despite eating a whole bar :oops: of Lindt dark chocolate with hazelnuts after supper. I knew that would happen when I bought it :oops: :oops: .

Still, at least it wasn't a bottle of wine. I haven't had one of those - or any alcohol - for 10 days :D .

6.4 ... Would love to get a 5 of some description but have not managed that yet in the morning . Can get a 5 and even an occasional 4 later on in the day :D

8.8 Lowest Ive had for a while, must be due to my low carb diet!
 
Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn

5.9 but was up late so it doesn't count
 
Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn

5.7 today at 08:30 :shock: Delayed action chocolate from 2 nights ago? :lol: Otherwise no obvious cause except I visited the bathroom at 07:00 which my liver may have thought meant I was getting up. It should know better by now :P
