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

Not open for further replies.
mine's been slowly coming down,i'm now on metformin,i am watching what i eat,and exercising more,
so from 17-19 down to around 6.7 in the morning i'm quite pleased with myself.:)
oh and i've lost just over a stone in weight.
 
My average for February (waking numbers over 28 points) is 5.056 - pretty happy with that. I had one outlier (twice actually) at 5.8 and the median is 5.1.

My overall average across Feb with points taken @ fasting, just before eating, 1 hour and 2 hours (and sometimes 3 if eaten slow carbs like ice cream) is 5.7. I have taken on the mantra that many use on here and that is to eat to my meter with a twist; I exercise to my meter, hence the one hour readings
 
5.4 with the help of 2 units of Levemir before bed. Pleasantly surprised, as I didn't expect 2 units to make much difference!
 
4.3 for me today.

It'll be interesting to see how this goes in the coming weeks as my activity and food consumption goes back up to very active.
 
Mine still seems to be all over the place - from 5.7 to 8.9 in the last week but I'm still new to all this so I guess it will be a whole before I can draw any robust conclusions
 
4.7 this morning and 4.8 yesterday. Nothing to do with exercise, I have a cold, am not eating much and just drinking water.

I call it the very cheap diet.
 
I also have a cold,but eating as normal,though its gone from high 5's to 7.7 this morning!

Diagnosed 11/09/13 hba1c 76

fasting 7.1 2 hrs after breakfast 8.0 was on 40mg twice a day of gliclazide but was taken off them on Monday due to regular low sugars and weight gain
 
fasting 15.9 again nothing to eat for me this morning taken 7 units of rapid see if that brings it down???
 
Yesterday I was 4.9, after a full day of long haul flight and time shifts - including the most incredible (yes, incredible would cover it) diabetic meals. Then this morning 4.6 after a full day on the hoof, at the third ODI. Lobster at lunch wouldn't have been off the straight and narrow, but we won't mention the bacon sarnie on baguette for brekkers. A great day out though.

Oh well. Back to the hard life in the sunshine. Life could be worse. :)
