Evening @Estragon. Afraid, I don't know the answer. I couldn't halve my own blood glucose in just 3 hours, but type 2 diabetes is a very individual disorder. Perhaps your beta cells are more lively than mine!Well, this afternoon an initial salutory depressing reading of 12.7, yes you read correctly, 12.7, then only 3 hours later a most favourable 6.3, will somebody enlighten me? Is it possible to half the BG within 3 hours?

Mine does! I try not to go to 12 but have a couple of times after eating carbs over Christmas. It happened twice and each time I was back to 6 within 3 hours. Another time I went to 12 and dropped to 6 within 2 hours, but that was first day of Libre so jury's out whether that was accurateWell, this afternoon an initial salutory depressing reading of 12.7, yes you read correctly, 12.7, then only 3 hours later a most favourable 6.3, will somebody enlighten me?

Did you do a 2nd reading straight away? Sometimes an iffy strip can be the culprit. Or residue of soap or other substances (I am not judging you!) on your about-to-be-perforated digit.Well, this afternoon an initial salutory depressing reading of 12.7, yes you read correctly, 12.7, then only 3 hours later a most favourable 6.3, will somebody enlighten me?

Awww thanks @PenguinMum .Morning All. Ruining all the good FBGs above by a 7.4 but I did have bread twice yesterday so that wont be happening again. Happy and healthy new year to you all. Btw my new years honours go to @Estragon and @Ashybang for great courage, perseverance and despite the toughest of times carry on carrying on with humour.
Hiyah! I’ll need to research these beta cells.Perhaps your beta cells are more lively than mine!
Indeed on the other hand too.Did you do a 2nd reading straight away?
Well all that’s reassuring, thank you. I’m hoping other T2 reading your and my experience will gain some insight and reassurance too. I did feel very vulnerable when that 12 pinged into view.Mine does! I try not to go to 12 but have a couple of times after eating carbs over Christmas. It happened twice and each time I was back to 6 within 3 hours. Another time I went to 12 and dropped to 6 within 2 hours….
Great work! Well done!Back in the groove this wonderful new day, with BG 5.7 mmol..... YaY I'm back !
Well, you're T2, as I, and I acknowledge that I need to think of Plateaues. Meaning, that once I have achieved a sustainable and maintaining Plateau for a L -O - N - G period, I can then build on that achievement. But, to do this is really hard and disillusioning in the extreme. For me getting down from an 18 when I first started was a grind and had no idea just what I was doing, but fairly quickly I was able to achieve a 50% drop in my HBA1C in three months. Yippee! But in a sense that was always going to mislead me . . . Doing the same attack on my Meds and Foods is fraught with hiccups and, as yesterday showed me a Spike of 12.7, yes, sure this was battered down to a six in short order, and here I stand . . . . So, for me, its about sustainable long plateaus of achievement, and yes, Christmas hasn't helped. But in another sense, it has re-re-reinforced my understanding of myself and the Monster that is T2.Any thoughts?
Morning @Welshman1952. Type 2 is a very individual disorder and we're all different, as you know.Fbg today was a worrying 8.4. I am really quite concerned as yesterday was really quite low carb and no naughties. I checked my weight and I'm the same as last Friday. A week ago my fbg's were in the low 7s.
Any thoughts?
P.S. One disappointing reading doesn't matter. A week's worth might, a month's worth will, and a year or more's worth is probably what unknowingly landed most of us in diabetes territory.Fbg today was a worrying 8.4.
