6.6 this morning at 5:30am dog walk planned, I am loving it! Surprising fbg as I had a small Twix bar yesterday whilst ironing! It was there so I craved it, if it hadn't have been there, I wouldn't have craved it - bizarre! Will not be doing that again.

5.9 this morning. So much for my early to bed, early to rise, equals lower FBG theory. Mind you didn't have a very good sleep last night, so worth another try I reckon. Blessings to all.

Fasted most of yesterday. Stormy weather always puts me off food.
8.0 this morning. There is no explanation. No justice in this T2 world.

"Helpful" liver dump perhaps?

Yup, possibly. I also started the experiment of shifting my sleep pattern to an early timing. Was up very early, too. Will repeat the exercise. Perhaps throw in the confounding variable of early breakfast and early evening meal. Stormy weather always disrupts my health and BG, too.

Hello from San Francisco, I have a strange lifestyle and strange eating habits too. I fast for 8 hrs at day time and 8 hrs at night. Day time FBG=4.4 mmol and night time after sleeping FBG= 5 mmol. Not sure about a lot of diabetic details.
One thing I am sure I am on the right track. No medicine, Numbers in non diabetic range. Indeed l am pre for over 13 yrs, treat myself as T2. Have a nice

day everyone.

So up at 6:00 this morning and bloods are 4.9. Maybe the theory of early to bed, early to rise holds some substance after all. Now for a cuppa before DP falls on me.

Morning All. Been MIA for a few days but FBG has been 8, 8 and today 7.8. My next A1c is just under two weeks so not in a good spot. Greetings to everyone trying to tame this beast. Enjoy Monday.
