Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all! It's a 5.8 from me.🙂 There was a doctor on GMB this morning who said Type 2 Diabetes should be renamed Walking Deficiency Syndrome!😱 Someone emailed in & stated he had been active all his life had Type 2. The doc replied by saying he must have late onset Type 1.🙄

Forgot this morning to take my fasting BG so had a cup of coffee with semi skimmed milk and remembered half an hour later to test so it was 6.8 that's the highest for me (4 weeks newbie, supposedly pre-diabetic HBA1c 48 2 weeks later down to 43) could the coffee have affected it at all - anyone know?

No, it's highly unlikely, only a tiny amount of sugar in the milk, in the form of lactose 🙂

Caffeine always makes my blood glucose rise, so could be that if you're as sensitive to it as I seem to be. But also, it may just be your liver pumping out a bit extra glucose as your feet hit the floor, to gear up for the day ahead.
