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

Hi Daisy,
Since taking Mets for almost 21days now, i saw my BG down from 16 to an daily average of 9-10 mmo/L.
Question: my fasting BG is still high at average 8-9 despite me having mostly a VERY low carb supper meal & i am very stressed on how to get these numbers lower
My lifestyle has taken a drastic change since , so have my eating habits, it just feaks me out each time when i eat a little more carbs.
What's your take on this?

 

MY fasting BSLgoes up who stress from overnight carpal tunnel pain/. However, despite this my HbA1C is still 6.1

I find that if I eat a few almonds before going to bed my BSL is lower in the morning fasting reading. A small protein snack appears to help.

 

Goood morning all. FBG 6.1 @ 0700.

 

Morning everyone 5.0 at 6.00am today

 

8.7 today *Sighs*

 

Fbg 6.4 in pain again. Leg and back. Numb foot gone. Thanks to @Tim55 's excellent advice/knowledge.

 

I'm 1.94 never thought about that. Does anyone know?

 

6.0 this morning

 

Hi @Johndotcom
I test again before I get in my car as advised. Liver dump normally rises me just nicely.
Thanks for reminder thou.

 

This week my Fasting BS has been 4.8, 4.6 , 4.7, 4.9 & 4.8 mmol.

Could be due to the fact I've been cycling to work on my old heavy mountain bike, normally i commute on a much lighter road bike.

 

8.5 to bed and 7.5 this morning

 

I have only been testing for two weeks. This mornings reading was 7.3. I am happy with this as two weeks ago when I started it was 13.9. I cannot take Metformin as it makes me very poorly. I am on 40mg of Gliclazide. I have taken up a low carb diet and have lost 8lb in the two weeks since starting. My reading are generally in the low 5's for the rest of the day.

 

5.9 @ 6.12 a.m. 5/2/16. Really pleased with this. I had slice BURGEN before bed cos reading was 5.2 before bed.

 

Your making good progress...steady wins the race for life

 

I wouldn't have thought that your height affects your Blood Sugar levels. Why would it?

My readings were 7.7 at 0745 then I tested again at 0755 and it was 8.2. I think the new meter I am using is faulty or my cold has affected readings. I haven't had such high readings since I've been testing over the last four weeks.

 

You are doing well in reducing your BG from 16 to 9-10 in 21 days. Don't get stressed (stress will raise your BG).
It does take time to get your BG levels down, it doesn't happen immediately unfortunately. Just keep on doing what you are doing.

 

6.1 before bed. 5.1 at 06:30

 

6.8 this morning

 

Morning All - 5/2/16
