9.3. I'm not sure why it's going up. Started lchf just over 2 weeks ago and I have gained 2lb. Levels before and after meals have only been above 8 once during the past fortnight (after black pudding).
Mine was 11.9. High I know but I've just started insulin and it's coming down slowly until I get my dose rightHello mates,
At a couple of the other forums I've frequented there was a thread like this one where we all sorta checked in each day, with our first cup of coffee or tea, and reported our fasting or waking blood glucose level and some short comment about whether we're ok with it or if not - why not?...
It worked well as a sort of 'first thread to check' each morning and post to.
I'll start.
This morning was a 5.6mmol for me. That's about normal for me
What about you?
I feel for you and know where you are coming from with your high numbers
Wishing you well with the phone call ask if you can discuss face to face I'm sure they would accommodate you, it's worth a thought
I was off the Meter this time last year always 33.0 + or 'HI'
A switch in insulin and being better educated by going on a Dafne course plus cutting down on the enormous amounts of carbs I was eating with help from friends on here has transformed my fortunes
I was 6.5 this morning
Good luck and welcome
Best wishes @chuntererThank you very much Cumberland for your advice and nice welcome.
I thought I would send you an update after my phone appointment with the Diabetic Nurse. She was very nice but doesn't have any home visit appointments until 27th March, so she is sending me some info so I can look at possibly having injections, looking at non insulin first. If she has any home visits available, I'll get it.
Sadly, my agoraphobia has stopped me attending the surgery for several years and the thought of it, brings on panic attacks.
Until the home visit, I am to stay on Metformin and Sitagliptin. Thanks again. xx
