My last complete 6 monthly check was a glowing result. I was told I was 'a model patient'. Levels near normal ie. almost NOT a type 2 diabetic. Told to only take the Metformin and drop the Zicron. I have lost weight, exercise three times a week. so that was me all chuffed. but have come back from a weeks holiday and started to feel rubbish. very easily exhausted and for a couple of days fuzzy headed and actual headaches. that is better now, but now have a volatile stomach. thing is, my fasting level the last two mornings is 6.3 I know that is not sky high, but I think it may be wrong after fasting all night, especially considering I had the levels so very well under control. You will probably laugh at that figure, so tell me,is it a bit high or not?
 
Hi lovetosing, nice to hear from you again 🙂 6.3 is within range and nothing to worry about after time away with different routines, food etc. It's more than possible that, although not really high, it is higher than you have been used to so you are feeling the effects more. I imagine things will settle in a few days once you are back into your routine, so I would just take a few more morning tests to see what happens 🙂
 
your reply

Thanks so much. You always reply so promptly and I am sure you can tell that I tend to err on the paranoid side! Thanks to you I will calm down and carry on!
