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

T1 - 4.4 fasting. Good job I had 4 rich tea biscuits before bed last night. Heaven alone knows what the BGs may have been.
 
6.2, a bit too high. 5.8 would be better. I'll keep trying.
 
Why are there two of these threads running in parallel?
 
13.0 this morning. This afternoon 16.5. Then went for a walk after tea checked it after 18.5.
 
Yep it's high the doctors won't put me on insulin. They won't listen at all. X
 
Are those your usual readings if I may ask?

Hello mike D, when I get up in the morning there around 12 or 13 then they go up during the day. The highest reading I've had is 24.3. I'm on oral meds but there not working I've been on a few different meds now and not one has worked for me.

Hi Samm. Meds won't work on their own. Diet is the key. Meds only help to a limited extent. Have you read up about low carb eating plans? Cutting the carbs will cut your BS levels, not the meds.
 
Have you (or are you planning to) change your diet? You obviously test (which is great) but it needs to be in tandem with changing what you eat (as was mentioned to you yesterday I believe) as some of those foods might well not be right for you

My levels this morning were 11.3.
