Creeping up again - 6.2 FBG this am.

We’ve just got to watch those sneaky carbs.

 

[Mini Dachs Mum]

9.8 this morning . Was 12 yesterday and I’m trying to cut carbs gently. I had 2 tiny baby potatoes in my omelette today that sort of thing. I have been on metformin for 4 days and have a headache and feel like i have no energy. I feel quite low after 4 days of diarrhoea and being expected to shop and cook and organise everything as normal. Feeling grumpy and sorry for myself.
I have started taking probiotics and digestive enzymes to see if that will help with the bowels.

Yes I second the slow release. Which I s what I use except when there have been shortages and had to use it. You also need to eat more food with it or the explosive issue within an hour. I eat vegan low carb/ keto so it wasn’t great. Slow release is great if you have to take metformin.

Good intentions for early sleep went wrong. Pain kept me awake until after 3am. was expecting raised BG at 7:30, but it was 5.8. Don’r understand, but not complaining.

Hello 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?

5.7 for lawrence morrison according to libre monitor after cup of tea

 

[PenguinMum]

Morning All. So 7.3 again like a broken record. Thursday already, enjoy the day, stay well, stay safe and get better if you need to.

Mine was 5.1 this morning, I'm fine and more than happy with that

Ahh ok! That makes me feel better!

I'm sorry to interrupt but I thought any exercise made your blood sugar readings go down, mine do if I walk for a while they can go down and always have to take something with me incase I have a hypo?

Mine goes down after a long walk .

 

[JohnEGreen]

Generally a gentle walk will lower blood sugars but a brusque walk may raise them but not always.

A straight 6 this morning ...I m cutting down on my metformin so I see how it goes so far so good .

Mine tend to go up but has a beneficial affect later. Guess we are all different.
