I went out last night had 5 G & It's and woke up to a 5.7 !!!

Forget metformin, G & T's at bedtime from now on ..... only joking

You might want to try some resistance exercise maybe with dumbbells, focused 5 mins with good form could make a significant percentage difference.

`i'll give something like that a go. 7 weeks ago I had an inguinal hernia op so want to ease into anything with weights but I get you drift and will try to add something into the day. Thanks for your thoughts, they are very welcome

5.8 this morning.

I was diagnosed only a week ago and I feel overwhelmed as well as starving - have no idea what to eat to actually feel feel remotely full? My reading earlier was 14.9 it's terrifying me but feel lost as where to start to help myself - I desperately need a shopping list

See my reply in the Type 2 Life thread...

Today, 7.3

 

[Hammer1964]

@Freema that was my fault, I slipped up last evening and my numbers are showing their wrath today. Live and learn.

Hey Troubled1, we all slip up or we would not be human. I bet you are now back in control and it won't happen again for quite a while.

 

[Hammer1964]

4.3 @630 - went back to sleep 4.9 when I got up at 9
Topped out today at 6.5 when doing some serious walking. Nothing I ate took me over 6.2 all day though of course it was all quite low carb.

@Hammer1964 since being diagnosed several years ago I have never had good fasting bg numbers. On average they were higher than my 2 hour post prandial readings.

Since cutting carbs, fasting and IF, my fasting numbers have come down. The last spike was due to an indulgence of ice cream.
Today's fasting bg was 7.3. 2 hours after bacon and eggs I was 6.2.
Yeah, I think I've got control of my bg now.
Will I indulge again? **** right I will! I just have to make sure it is only occasionally and not an ongoing thing.

Troubled1, we all like to indulge, mime is dark chocolate biscuits but as long as we are in control, know what we are doing and not in denial then go for it - occasionally is not going to harm.
