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

5.0 also, cold and wet but at least the year is heading to a close. It can’t get much worse... he says tempting fate

5.7 for me

Swipey gives me a 5.3 so add on 2 (cricket habit) and it doesn't look good. Absolutely no off piste for first Christmas of the 6 LC ones - like a Dementor's Kiss at times.

Today BSL was 7.7 been high lately in mornings since Xmas but I've been indulging in maybe more sweets since staying at mums since Christmas day

 

[PenguinMum]

Morning All. 6.6 and dont know why as yesterday was a restrained day.

8 this am but hardly surprising

Good morning. 4.7

5.6 on finger prick... 3.8 on Libre

Although I just changed the libre sensor yesterday so readings are a bit haywire on it and it will take some time to stabilise but it was showing that I kept dipping in and out of hypo over the course of last night... now I cant believe those numbers because as a T2 and not taking any medication I think hypo is highly unlikely...

However on plus side with a ketone reading of 2.8, I am in therapeutic levels of ketosis which is a good place to be anyway.

6.3, but I did get up late.

 

[JFWinstone]

6.2 but overslept until nearly 11am

6.7 this morning. Whoops! Maybe the late night hot chocolate wasn’t such a good idea after all.

As a type 2 if you are on metformin alone you are extremely unlike to get a hypo. On the other hand if you have had gliclazide or any ofthis class of drug it is a totally different story.

True but I am off all medications.. none whatsoever ... Stopped in November this year 3 weeks after I started on LCHF and the same week when I started ADF and haven't needed them ever since

 

[Ryhia]

6.1 again!

 

[Chriztopher]

5.3 this morning which is somewhat of a pleasant surprise

 

[karen8967]

5.6 for me

 

[JFWinstone]

4.9 at 7am this morning

 

[ianpspurs]

5.2 which being on Swipey feels much too high but may not be.
