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

Today BSL was 7.7 been high lately in mornings since Xmas but I've been indulging in maybe more sweets since staying at mums since Christmas day
 
5.6 on finger prick... 3.8 on Libre ;)

Although I just changed the libre sensor yesterday so readings are a bit haywire on it and it will take some time to stabilise but it was showing that I kept dipping in and out of hypo over the course of last night... now I cant believe those numbers because as a T2 and not taking any medication I think hypo is highly unlikely...

However on plus side with a ketone reading of 2.8, I am in therapeutic levels of ketosis which is a good place to be anyway. :):)

As a type 2 if you are on metformin alone you are extremely unlike to get a hypo. On the other hand if you have had gliclazide or any ofthis class of drug it is a totally different story.

True but I am off all medications.. none whatsoever ... Stopped in November this year 3 weeks after I started on LCHF and the same week when I started ADF and haven't needed them ever since :):)
