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

10.6 or 191 mg/dl , it's 3am here and I'm sick. I seem to have picked up a cold at the dentist. I will try to go back to sleep and test again later. Already have a backup caregiver coming in so I can rest a little tomorrow. I think I have been sick more this year than any other except kindergarten.

@Echob when were you diagnosed as it can take time for your levels to come down. What do you usualy eat.

I was diagnosed around April this year . Am losing weight now. Have cut down on carbs and trying to eat healthily . Fish twice a week. More protein more salad and fruit and trying not to have anything after 7pm bur my bg levels are always around 12

Thanks for listing which finger-it reminded me to switch hands. I got a new meter and lancing device a few weeks ago and have been testing on left hand because it's a little awkward to use left hand to manipulate this lancing device. I reused left hand instead of rotating to testing on right about a week ago.

oh such hard Work and not as low as you want BC, try to cut the fruits away for a while and only eat berries in smaller amounts like 50 grams pro meal...

I dont know how much overweight you are ,but the liver produces a lot of glucose too in many diabetic type 2´s so maybe when you get down to your ideal weight or on your way there it will become better...

6.7 at 8.20am, although that's a late morning for me as I'm usually up at 6.30am ... oh and I DID have a rubbish day diet-wise yesterday!
However, one hour following breakfast I was still only 7.7 ... so better check at two hours also
 
133 mg/dl or 7.3 at 9am, I'm already feeling a lot better than last night. On another note: I think jelly babies are what we call ***** bears. Not that I have needed any recently but good to know what other people are talking about. I think I will just continue on with regular routine today-I do not feel like taking a day off.
 
6.3 this am, up a bit on yesterday but I am experimenting by trying different amounts and times that I eat a snack at night.
