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

Good morning at 4.45am it was 5.0

As you can see I have stopped one tablet metformin and this weeks FBG has changed a little from constant 4's to 5#s just wondering if this could be the reason and are this readings of 5.something acceptable
5''s are really good control, maybe try finishing your last meal around 18.00. If you want some further ideas open post maybe on Type 2 life.
 

I can't exercise as I am disabled with Copd and rheumatoid arthritis. I also had discs removed from my back and a hip replacement . I am really careful what I eat and drink.

I must admit that I'm not as injured as you. I'm an ex-firefighter and damaged the discs at the base of my spine. This developed into arthritis and left the base of the spine ,well, easily injured is the best way to describe it. To much pressure and I go into spasms because of nerves getting pinched. I went from running 5-6 miles every other day and playing matches (Gaelic Football) quite a lot. Now with the pain of my back and knees I rarely have a relatively pain free day. So, like you, I now have to watch what I eat and drink. I just came very late to the party and have to catch up on the information here. As the wife says " I may have stopped playing, I didn't stop eating "

Keep at the diet, watch what you eat and don't forget that pain meds can give you a false reading sometimes.....as can pain
