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


You must be doing something right asparagusp. No hypos for the last ten days is something to be applauded.
well done.
 
I didn't take it this a.m. as it has been very steady the last couple of months. However, This morning, well after breakfast and taking my diabetes meds I had my lowest hypo blood glucose reading..... 3.2mmol/L. That is very low. Must be the weight loss reversing my type2 diabetes. I sure hope so.
 
hey hello goooood morning 4.9 mmol today 7.40 guess if i did a lot of excercise yesterday and even ate 150 gras of carbs... hurrah hurrah... it pays to keep on the hard work.

also down at 88 kg this morning hardly lost anything till now for a whole month

and best of all yesterday read my numbers online from my latest blood test ; HbA1c : 34 nov -16

Good Morning. Here we go again - 3.6 - so I had quarter of a glucose tablet, the next two consecutive readings 15 minutes later, 8.3/6.7. Maybe the 3.6 reading was the bogus one ..... Can you get night time hypos if you inject Lantus in the morning?

6.7 this morning

Yesterday had a bit of a panic when breakfast gave me a temporary high of 12 and an hours readings in the 10-11 range. I ended up walking for 90 minutes while it came back down into the 8's. Today I thought I would try an experiment - had exactly the same food but a pint of water with vinegar in first and afterwards . Instead of sitting down to digest then going for a walk when I noticed the high, I commenced doing some gentle housework immediately after eating. The result was a temporary high of 10.3 and most readings for two hours in the 8's with the same end reading at 2 hrs - it seems the vinegar and water did significantly dampen the spike which did not get the chance to develop because I stayed active.
 
Well done, Freema!
