You always speak such a lot of sense, I’m glad you are on this thread. You have such good bg control it’s always worth listening to your point of view.
Good morning all,
@Flora123 -- I guess that one reason that they seem obsessed with fasting levels is that they are part of the official guidelines for diagnosing diabetes (though I have to admit my GP wasn't when initially fasting was still high, but HbA1c was normal).
My personal experience is though that for me fasting levels tend to set the tone for the entire day. So, if fasting blood sugars are higher, so are levels throughout the day. That's why they matter to me personally.
Do I believe that fasting blood sugars really matter in terms of health if they are a little elevated and drop throughout the day as they do for you? No, not really. Personally, I believe that what really does harm is if we repeatedly see very high spikes throughout the day (based on the discussion by Jenny Ruhl on her bloodsugar101 website).
By the way, when you say that you HCPs want it between 4 and 5, do you mean 5.0 mmol as a maximum?
Anyway, back to main purpose of this post. Fasting levels for me were 5.1.
Thanks for asking Ziggy..having a few blips but managing and hoping my BG will re allign sometime soon. Great FBG for you again.Hello all,
Fasting blood sugars this morning were 5.0.
@DJC3 -- Agree with @PenguinMum and keep my finger crossed that it won't be the DGFs, which are causing the problem. Thank you also for your kind words yesterday.
@PenguinMum -- How are you doing? Are the last vestiges of Covid gone? Or do you sometimes still feel them returning?
A hug for your uncertainty and a winner star for your reading .4.2 mmol/L
My diagnosis went from pretty certain to... uncertain nowNo idea what kind of diabetic I am!
