Hi, anything under 43 is consideref normal, 43 - 48 is pre-diabetic, while anything over 48 is diabetic. According to Diabetes UK, anything over 75 is deemed "dangerous"Just had a call from Doctor Surgery.
My fat TG levels are very high and he wants me to re-test and see me.
Can someone please tell me what HbA1C levels are.
Mine were 80 and are now 62.
I think that's an improvement, but just don't know what it means.
Apologies its off topic.
Many Thanks
Yes the same for me I usually go through a phase of bad sleep then it improves but the last few weeks I'm lucky if I clock up 3 or 4 hrs .Yes @mojo37 it can make for very very long days, when a few hours shut eye is needed.
Very frustrating indeed.
I find it such a relief when I've been to bed and awaken to light outside, but it doesn't happen often enough.
Mine is linked to the menopause . I can fall asleep at the drop of a hat it's staying asleep that is the problem .Evening @Ashybang and @mojo37.
Do you find it hard to fall asleep when you first turn in for the night? I used to lie awake in bed until I adopted the same, non-negotiable bedtime every night. Keeping to a nightly routine is the single factor which has helped me the most to get a good night's shut-eye.
If waking during the night, for no obvious reason, is the chief hurdle, this may be closely connected with your diabetes and changes in blood glucose levels. It can be a bit of a catch-22 problem which is self-perpetuating, but it's possible to break the vicious circle. if you can bring your BG levels down, by reducing your carbohydrate intake during the day, you may well suffer fewer sleep disturbances.

It's a good improvement certainly heading in the right directionJust had a call from Doctor Surgery.

I saw the chicken salad and thought what was wrong with that? Then further down with chips, well guess that will be why, but hey ho tis what it is. I've had horrid readings for no idea why recently, in the 9s but I think its due to anxiety, time of year and lack of gin and tonic lol. All plays a part........ xThanks for replying.
I usually get very tired and drop off to sleep quickly, but 3 hours or close too, later, I'm awake and then can't nod off again for a couple of hours.
My bedtime BG level has improved over past couple of months, but can still be erratic and also in Double figures mmol on occasion. I am trying to get this under control by eating earlier in the evening.
Had a bad reading this morning, after having a good week.....
BG 10.6 mmol @ 7am......
Just to say, this morning high reading was my own fault.
Had chicken salad for tea.........

WITH CHIPS !
Like Harry Potter lol at the train station. I very nearly tried that in a drunken episode one Christmas and nearly ended up in a&e. Luckily I was dragged back before I hit the wall!6.5 FBG this morning. I hate this packing bit, suitcases & the like, I wish I could teleport myself, it would be so much easier.
Just keep on doing what you are doing its only been a few weeks and it does take time for levels to come down for most people. I found my levels came down in stages, Bloods would stay at the same level for ages (or so it seemed, then for no particular reason I would start to see lower results.7.5. I seem to be trending in the 7's most days which I'm happy about given I was at 13-16's just a few weeks ago but I'm not sure how to keep it going down now. There's not much more I can do food wise without losing the will to live but I do need to up my exercise so hopefully that will be the push to lower levels a lil bit more.
That's good to know, thanks!Just keep on doing what you are doing its only been a few weeks and it does take time for levels to come down for most people.
