7.5….what the heck….i don’t test right away, I get dressed, make the bed, get coffee fixings ready while hubby walks the dog…maybe I’m awake for 15 min….
ahh, whatever….

6,7, and I'm beginning to wonder what the point of fasting tests is: I will never have a night of uninterrupted sleep (wake 2-6 times, if not more, and usually sleep 5 hours or decidedly less), and the nightmares have been with me since 1991. I don't think consistently non-diabetic numbers in the morning, are possible for someone like me. In the past 4 weeks, I think I had nice numbers exactly once.

Still... At least it's coming off my liver, that's something. But sheesh.

I go through everything more or less the same. Obviously not happily, but have no choice. We all know that all diabetic are different. I am hooked up on testing and record keeping. I have been testing for the last fifteen years. Testing keeps me on track. Good luck and keep up the good work.

Morning all. Notice I didn't say Good Morning? It's not. It's white and wintry out there and my bg was 7.9.

6.7 a bit later this morning. All white and frosty outside hence the hiding under the duvet for an extra few hours.

I noticed 2 names this morning. @Estragon and @JohnEGreen. Nice to see you both, hope you are both ok.

[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek,

I think I may be in a similar boat

Typically I eat around 10 grams of carbs per day which consists of a couple of eggs for breakfast , piece of fish for lunch and steak for supper, with cheese for pudding

I’ve tried cutting out breakfast ( time restricting ) and it makes little difference . Nor does the occasional 24 hour fast . - my bmi is around 19.

Here in the uk, or maybe it’s just my local surgery, it’s a challenge to get blood tests done other than the ones offered at the yearly review. Mainly of course thus doesn’t matter but 6 or so years ago I asked to have a c-peptide done and my GP refused as my hba1c was according to him, ok ( 47) - I had to drive 2 hours and pay £300 to find out my numbers were low but still within normal range

I’m considering having the test done again to see if there’s a change. -

My gripe is that the system here just does not encourage self empowerment.

Ok. Rant over …
