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

[LivingLightly]

Morning All 8.5 today likely due to recovering from a hard fall on concrete on Monday afternoon. Nothing broken but black & blue literally all down my right side from my brow bone to my big toe. Just starting to get over the shock with lots of arnica and painkillers.

Thank goodness you escaped that fall with bruises @PenguinMum. I expect it shook you up. You can really do yourself a mischief on a hard surface like concrete.

That's what mine does ..I try a snack like walnuts or a piece of cheese but the rise continues till I eat properly and or go for a walk .

6.4 at 6:30. Had a few walnuts to see if that would stop the rise. Nope, up to 8 at 7:54 .

Went for a 30 minute walk, now down to 6.5 at 9:55.

Yes @May Mic and @mojo37. That's because you are diabetic.

Your body needs more fuel on getting out of bed first thing in the morning and your liver obliges.

Given time and a consistent LCHF lifestyle, your FBG readings should gradually fall, so the blood glucose rise will begin from a lower starting point and look less pronounced.

Evening @RosemaryJackson. Your profile doesn't tell us the type of diabetes you've developed and whether treated with medication or diet alone.

Might be helpful to know, if you would like suggestions from members based on our experience.

My average is usually between 8 & 9. Considering I started Insulin in June I don’t know if that’s any good.

 

[RosemaryJackson]

Hope you are soon feeling better @PenguinMum; @Mojo, thanks, am feeling better this morning, well done on the bg's. 7.9 for me today, coming down . @LivingLightly, I'm type 2, diagnosed in 2009 with A1c of 88. Came off Metformin about a year ago so it's diet alone.

Thank goodness you escaped that fall with bruises @PenguinMum and no other injuries, but it must have shaken you up.
