That's not bad at all. Some newly diagnosed/New to testing have been in the high teens even twenties. Also fasting is the hardest to gain any sort of control over. Look up DP Dawn Phenomenon on main site, sorry, on phone App so can't link you x

thank you @Sable_Jan will do

Thats what I was getting up until a couple of weeks ago.

Knocking the carbs back, though not totally, has worked really quickly to improve my levels.


Oh and the Sketcher s...OMFG! It's like walking with your own fluffy clouds attached to your feet.

It is very hard to understand, unless it's driven by corporate greed, which has no conscience - ever.... but you'd think doctors would start twigging really...

Not really. Doctors and nurses have to cope with many unrelated conditions. They are trained in practises that are traditional and trusted. If you trust in your training there is little incentive to reject it and accept a completely different strategy. Here, however, we are all fixated on the one topic so we have had the luxury of time and self-interested motivation to find the very latest information. Health care professionals will catch up eventually!

Hello All,

Hope you are all well and fitting fit.

I have seen the thread in fasting blood glucose, but was wondering what they are for only Type 2's.

Mine are between 4.5 and 6.0 depending on what I have eaten / drunk the night before.

Cheers

This week I'm trying without any wine at all and my fasting numbers are up from last week.

So is a little tipple going to be reintroduced next week?

 

[WeeFergus]

I bet you're looking forward to the result too.. all your hard work is bound to have paid off... keep us posted...

Sure will.

Possibly.

 

[Baruney]

Possibly.

Wey-hey - party at weefergus's next week.

Fasting today (back to early check again!): 6.7

and flat as a pancake so far :
6.7 (fasting) -> 6.9, 6.9 -> 6.9

6.2 mmol / L this morning.
4.8 mmol / L at bed time.

Sleep started past 1am but, wasn't too bad quality wise.

I have to ask, why the sleep pattern if you think it is a contributing factor.

If anything like me it's not intentional....I can't usually get to sleep until between midnight and 2am..... I go to bed earlier and listen to music and read or watch a film or whatever until all my muscles are relaxed enough to sleep ... Was just settling down at midnight when dog wanted out so finally slept about half one

Doesn't wine suppress blood glucose a little (especially red wine?).

I see blood readings of 5 and 6 but I have never managed that, mine is 10 today so does anyone know why, I walked a few miles yesterday but didn't eat too badly?
