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

Wow looks so nice, but in reality is and can be so deadly
 
Yes, I have means of checking my blood sugar. I have a GlucoRx HCT monitor.
The gliclazide doesn't seem to be lowering my sugars enough, I'm taking 2 x 40mg in the morning (along with 1000mg metformin) and the same in the evening. I've seriously cut down on my carbs (I've cut out all cakes, pastry, pasta and switched up the small amounts of white bread I eat for wholemeal) and yet it's still ranging from 10 to 15! Going back to see the diabetic nurse this coming Wednesday so we shall see! My lowest fasting result was 6.6 and I'd not eaten for almost 24 hours as was feeling ill.
