What was your bg reading last night and this morning?

5.0 when I went to bed last night a bit after midnight. 6.4 when I woke up at 7.20 which was discouraging. I tested again half an hour later and it was down to 6.0, has stayed in the 5’s the rest of today.

Hopefully once I’ve lost more weight (lost 4 kilos/8.8 pounds in two weeks!) and my body mass decreases more my morning levels will go down a bit. :)

you're really doing well at regular 6's and 5's from where you were.......and also with the weight.......don't push it too fast........remember that hare and tortoise again?
 
@Traceymac23 Yep it’s only until Tuesday so I can tell my GP I’ve already lost some weight and then I’ll start eating a bit more and slow down. I’ve weaselled my way out of the Easter family lunch tomorrow by saying I’ve come down with a tummy bug, plus people will probably think I’m just needing to lie low and lick my wounds after getting dumped. I know the solution to life with diabetes isn’t to not have a social life, it’s just because I want as low a weight as I can get to start on Tuesday, and if I’m not at the lunch I can’t be tempted! :)

fair play
 
Went to sleep last night with blood glucose of 4.8mmol. Woke up with blood glucose of 4.4mmol at around 9am. My last meal yesterday was at around 2pm. I fasted since then, and couldn't bare it at night, so I had some peanuts - which didn't affect my BG.

Had mince meat at 12 today, after a half fast lol, with veg and some butter. Pre meal bg was 4.4mmol. Will test again tonight before bed. But I'm starting my fast in about 1 hours time - so no more food (well meals at least but will try my best) after 2pm until 2pm tomorrow. Liquids from thereon...
