Hi,
I am T2 and was very close to going onto insulin but I got myself a continuous blood sugar monitor and now I don’t eat any carbs until it reads below about 8 mmol and then have been experimenting to make sure I stay under 10 mmol
If I aim for a lower level I find it dives down very quickly and alarmingly.
Nice to know... out of all fast food, KFC 3 pieces of chicken, no fries doesn’t spike my Blood Sugar 🙂
Reason for the post though...
I go to bed with blood sugar under 8 mmol it bobbles along dipping down to 4 mmol most nights but then, from 6am onwards, it rises to around 11 mmol and stays above 10 mmol till 12ish.
How do I get it down? I take metformin and gliclaside at about 8am. I’m concerned about taking anything at night because it drops very low when I sleep.
