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

[sugarshy]

I think it is happening because your liver is now not occupied with the alcohol and then feels free to produce more blod glucose from proteins.., type 2 diabtics very often has a too active liver transforming too much proetin into bloos glucoe and especially in the mornings... when busy taking care of alcohol the liver can not do this as much... another aspect is the liver can get used to taking care of alcohol and end up being able to doing both if alcohol is drunk on a daily basis... not ideal ..

Thanks for that Freema

I like whiskey but apparently it has more sugar or carbs than vodka

Whiskey generally has about 0.03 grams of carb per 1 fluid ounce.

Hello!

There is a fair bit of "off topic" discussion happening on this thread.

I'm not knocking the commiseration/encouragement/or "high fives" on member's fasting numbers.

However, some of the postings clearly warrant a thread or PM topic of thier own.

Please stay on the topic of this thread.
I thank you!

Hi guys....
Numerous reports rolling in.. Same thing different folk.

Stay on the topic. Thanks.

4.9 today. Changed my sensor yesterday, waited 4 hours since it was bleeding, and then found out that it wasn't working right. So I put in another one, which also bled, and waited another 4 hours. This one worked, but I'm exhausted from staying up late waiting on these sensors! And even though it worked, it gave me completely wrong numbers (dexcom = 11.7, finger prick = 6.3 for example).

4.9 today, which is higher than the last couple of days. The reason is I had a later night snack including a small piece of lemon drizzle cake . I also ate about 1800 calories - which is high for me. So yesterday the difference between morning fasting 4.2 and overall average 4.8 what higher than my usual 0.3 difference when consuming 1200 ish calories. All very mechanical !

You're doing a great job on calorie counting etc, well done on your results. I just wanted to mention that meters can be quite inaccurate, so differences of less than 1mmol/L don't mean a whole lot. So don't be too worried about small changes in your blood sugar - it might not be true at all. (You can probably safely eat that delicious cake )
