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

[alliebee]

sooo confused, last nights meal 6pm Bs at bedtime 8.2 this morning 10.9? did i raid the fridge in my sleep?

I blame the liver dump fairies myself. I've just got rid of the pesky little things

Thanks for the replies, don't like red wine lol, and coming to think of it, I had a handful of nuts while watchin IACGMOOH

Well the 'drink less before bed' = 'no trip to the toilet at 5am' seems to have worked a little - from 8.9 yesterday morning it was only 7.0 this morning. Not going down so quickly after a breakfast of scrambled eggs and fried Mushrooms though - unless it is this dispensing machine coffee that we have at work!

Anybody else have any issues with dispensing machine coffee (no sugar obviously!)??

 

[alliebee]

If its white coffee it will be a carb laden powdered creamer. Full of carbs. Best take your own milk or cream

The term fasting assumes you had nothing to eat in the previous 8-10 hours, so normally it is only used for the reading one takes first thing in the morning.

As the name suggests sweet and sour sauce is not the best choice for a diabetic to make as it contains sugar and usually bids of pineapple (in syrup?).

I was testing to show my wife what foods I must avoid in future..I know what fasting is but used it as a general term

Apologies. I did not mean to come across as pedantic

How is Bristol these days? I spent some wonderful years there back in the mid eighties as a student at the University.

A nice neat 4.0 for me this morning.

Today we're outside doing "stuff", and by jingo, it's chilly. Roll on January. I need sunshine. I need warmth. I want to swim in the ocean - NOW!!

Oh well, I'd best just settle myself in for the wait.

Have a good day everyone.

 

[Sable_Jan]

Or shell them first before eating

 

[Sable_Jan]

Mmmmm dunno I forgot to test again

Love your dog.....

Probs had a liver dump

 

[Sable_Jan]

well it was 4.7 this morning and 6.1 after some All Bran crunch (60g) - probably not the healthiest of cereals as it is quite sweet but can get away with it, trouble is such a small portion (in my eyes) leaves me hungry.......

Meant to post the rest of my readings but I wrote them on my shopping list which is in the car somewhere in my shopping bag I think. A respectable below 8 after beans on toast for lunch and a small piece of my daughter's birthday cake (gave my granddaughter half of it) Will post them later on if I remember to dig them out. I do have them on my meter but haven't linked it up to this laptop yet.....

@Nuthead - hope you didn't mind the joke about shelling the nuts first cos toothache certainly is NO joke - worse pan than childbirth.......

Hi Deb
When you say you can get discount does that mean you have to pay for your strips?

Hi Deb

Most of us type 2's have to pay for our own I'm afraid to say.
