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

When you're sat there thinking 'OMG You Moron', just remember not to say it out loud Bite your tongue or something Not too hard tho' Or you'll have to suffer her wonky stitches on your tongue for the rest of your life, after she's sewn it back on.

Yes, I really do despair. Trouble is, she's actually a really good, nice doctor and they are hard to find. I have found you have to be your own personal doctor with diabetes though. Haven't told her I follow a low carb high fat lifestyle yet, am slowly working my way up to that.

6.2... Woke up late in blind panic with heart racing.

8.3 then tested another finger and was 6,8, strange

But not unusual. It happens to me all the time.

I suffer from panic disorder and hyperventilate - It tends to happen when I'm in the semi asleep vivid dreaming state. Fine now with my coffee and cat to stroke.

Well done you, .3 below me but I blame my new meter. Probably putting the blood in at the wrong end.

Bayer Contour Next. I got it free from Bayer when I entered a competition on here. Picking up my prescription prickers and strips for it this afty. I love (if that's the right word) the new pricker thing, much better than the old monitor one.

Have you tried soya milk, vitalite is dairy free. Get the unsweetened milk, its the only milk i can have and it does help mucous. Hope the sinuous clears soon.

@loulou99782 @Susikav

have you tried hemp milk?
I've used it for yoghurt with good results.

I can't say what it contains, or it's effects, it's just a passable alternative for me.
Please ensure you check it yourself

Oh Lorraine, I am so sorry to hear he has taken a turn for the worst, I'll keep you both in my thoughts. Your right, there is nothing worse that watching and waiting without being able to help. Make sure you don't forget to take care of yourself as well as your family at this difficult time.

Uncle Tommy past away at 1.00am

When does everyone stop eating in the evening? I stopped at strickly 8pm last night as I had a fasting test at the clinic this morning. Maybe that is what made a difference this morning. Usually, if I am peckish in the evening, I have a snack. Maybe I need a curfew!
