Of course I did follow all advises but still the problem
I thought might be the reason for that is Gluten free toast !!!!
And fasting BG should be less than 5.5

I doubt it would be the gluten free toast tbh, maybe visit your gp and see what they can do for you

And regarding your fasting level Nicola is correct in what she says so I'm afraid the information you have or was given is wrong

Have you did any BG test
For me that’s too much to eat during one day
But if BG test is good , why not ?

Did not do BG test, but am only just maintaining weight. Previously losing every week.

Can't list my eats as I couldn't break free from my 'bender' but I have now. I'm on SlimFast! Not so sure this is a good idea but am at wits end so I'm measuring bg a very lot!

That’s so good
Well done

I’ve always been advised and researched that fasting blood sugars should be between 4-7 and 8.5 or less two hours after eating so 5.6 is absolutely fine.

That’s brilliant if I am wrong
But google say something else

5.6 considered as prediabetic as far as I know

wow that's a lot of carbs as a type 2 only on Metformin, I'm Type 1 but I only hit 100g a day unless I hypo or am too low to go to bed x
 
Yep - first nurse appt was only 2 days ago and given zero advice from my GP as yet! :( Feeling my way a bit, once I have my glucometer and figure out some recipes/meal options I'll be able to make better choices I hope.

I would say your meter is going to show you may need to drastically reduce your carb intake, if you need a chat or anything your always welcome to private message me 🙂 xx
 
Thanks - I don't doubt it! Like I said, I'm only 2 days in and with zero GP/nurse advice or support so far, so this will be a journey.
 
Hi
Just reduce your carb and increase your protein and that’s it
I am sure you will be fine
With meter you will have better idea
I think fasting test is so important as well as after two hours from the meal
 
Well, yes, I figured that bit but it's a case of finding new things to eat to replace the carbs right? 🙂

I'm actively working on that! It's not an overnight thing :(

yes although different I wasn't given much information either, I was told by the doctor if I could show her I could inject myself I could get home from the hospital, its all very scary and I understand how you must be feeling, when you start testing don't worry about the results, it's better to bring your levels down slowly and gradually rather than jump straight in, this forum is a great place for information 🙂 xx

Hi
Just read the label and choose the one with less carb and less sugar
Home made food always better than what is at shops

Good luck

That's good to know Nicola 🙂 I've been at 6s and 7s today although only one 7 and one 5, so not doing so bad.
Last couple of nights by BG has shot up to 9s and 10s before bed, I have been headachy from the barometric pressure so maybe that is why.
