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

[Lainie71]

6.6 reasonable starting point but like @OrsonKartt and others my numbers rise uncontrollably to around 9 or 10 with or without food until a slow afternoon drop before dinner. Overnight drops to 3 or 4 while I sleep. Just wished I could influence this daily trend and get lower numbers during the day and rely less on metformin.

Green tea works for my readings. Not sure if you can have green tea whilst taking meds but worth a try if you can.

5.6 this morning. I know I don't believe it either, but then again bloods did get into the high 4s yesterday, so maybe! Big D is just as confounding to me as ever.

I don’t know if it’s just a thing for good luck but I have taken to starting the day with vitamins. If you don’t already do it might be worth a try ?

I've been dosing with a ginger ,turmeric, black pepper, garlic, cayenne pepper ,lemon infusions and ascorbic acid for a while
boosts the immune system ..
Change of seasons ,one of my old work colleagues called it a "weather breeder"
It's just hung about for a while..
Not bad enough to stop work though!

7.2 later reading this morning. Going to give green tea a try, must admit will try anything to get figures lower so welcome others successes and methods.
