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

[Sable_Jan]

My doctors surgery does a first call first served system on the day. Some appointments are pre booked but gone are the days of waiting days/weeks to see a GP. If you phone after 8.30 am you will be seen that day.

If only.......

4.6 this morning for me


Fish and salad/ veg is always the best combo for fasting/ post blood sugar numbers

I have been put onto Insulin, which I always dreaded, but now seems inevitable. My morning readings average 5.9. Seeing diabetic nurse next month, I am not sure how well/badly I am doing.

Good numbers. Better a wee bit high than too low.

Hi, welcome to the thread. Sounds a pretty good fasting average. Do you test pre and post meals too so you know the effect your food is having on your bs?

Lol Jan..a tad of madness keeps you sane, gotta laugh !

Remembered a quote my eldest daughter wrote on my psychology folder once " Madness is a sane response to an insane world"

Probably just the oats cos the berries and yoghurt should be ok, shouldn't they??

That blingy new Contour meter is improving your humour Adrian. Snow showers here and I need to go out.

You should be used to snow showers, not like us that live nearer the Equator in Lancashire. Just get out there and enjoy it.

Too busy and travelling to get on yesterday, so six pages later ...

Thursday night was an odd one, I was meeting some friends at a pub, one of the occasions where I will have a pint of bitter. I didn't leave the office early enough to eat, so I thought I'd just get some food at the pub but it was quiz night and by the time I got there they'd run out. So dinner consisted of a pint of Harvey's best and a bowl of salted peanuts. 6.2 at bedtime but yesterday morning was 5.6.

Salmon and red wine last night after driving home, 5.1 this morning
