@SB.25, think I understand. When I was diagnosed, my BG was 14.7 but I think it was the ketones that frightened my doctor. 5.1. I was eating almost zero carbs and he obviously thought I was starving myself. I felt great. I was put on insulin immediately which I think was wrong and to this day I still think I'm in denial about being T1Hi SueJB apologies if I wasn’t clear and maybe I am incorrect. The doctors have said to me they are not really sure if I am type 1 as they felt that if I was not on insulin, then my bloods would be higher than present (I.e in the 20s or higher. Of course, I am aware type 1’s manage to control it and not get to those levels all the time. Hope that makes sense!
Managed to get slightly better fasting results today - got 11.9 which is the lowest it’s been in 2 weeks (although still too high!).
And funnily enough that was with eating a chocolate coin before bed - I know seems a bit odd. A type 1 my mum knows recommended trying to have a little something before bed to give the pancreas something to work on over night. Not sure if it would work but it is the best result I’ve had in 2 weeks so maybe it did ..... on the other hand it could just be a fluke lol!

I manage my BG more through low carb eating although I do have to inject a background (basal) insulin. I think it'd be interesting to see what would happen if I stopped that.
Good morning 2.50 am and I’m on 3.7
Bit low x3.7 for me jelly babies b4 work and a rich tea biscuit enjoy your day everyone

Morning all. When the alarm went off I actually starting cursing at myself for setting it on a Sunday - oh the wave of disappointment that hit me when the reality of it being Tuesday finally set in.
5.3 for me which is the threshold for fbg (for me) that I count as acceptable but knew it would be around this as ate very late last night. Have a good day all
