What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

[Mbaker]

I sometime worry a little if I go below 5, because it means I can't go somewhere (such as the office) on the spur (at least I was told that's the floor for driving in the UK).

That said, I do prefer to keep as good control as I can (below 6). Since being diagnosed in November, I've got my HbA1C from 152 down to 40.

Hi...good numbers for u...i been keeping mine low too..yes i drive hgv...so difficult balancing act between doctors and dvla...have to check rregularly and then my meters are looked at by 2 consultant every year[/QUOTE]
This has got to be in the top percentile of drops, great.

Good morning.........6.2 this morning......ate exactly the same meals as previous day to find the cause of yesterday's 7.2...........
I can't blame the HGVs horn blowing as last night I was woken at 2.10 by them!
The good result is that I can still eat chilli without rice,I had it with cauliflower mash and it was delish!
Have a good day everyone.

Morning all. Down to 7.2 @ 8.25 am. Going in the right direction but still too high. Usually drops later in the day after I've taken medication with breakfast and evening meal . ( Gliclizide/ metformin) but always higher than I'd like before breakfast. Have a good day everyone.

Hi @Glenmac i have vegetable rice has a substitute for rice,have you tried the green veggie rice from Iceland 4 packs for a £1 I like both cauliflower and green veggie rice,you can get both packs with 4 servings in each bag for £2. Great value for money,also Aldi does carrot chips instead of potato chips and Tesco does mixed vegetable chips I also have these and love either of these. The supermarkets are on the ball now with lots of no carb veg substitutes love it! K
