    I'm 109 this am. Good for you, time2lose, for taking control of your health. You'll figure out what works for you to get your fasting sugar within the normal range.

    Newbie: 135 FBG
    I know that sounds high, but I am coming down from 267's and such...so I was excited to see it this morning. Last night at 11:30 pm it was 120...also exciting to see. I followed the less than 45 carbs per meal , I just learned about yesterday. I seem to be higher in the mornings.....from reading posts it might be Dawn Phenomena?
    267 down to 135 is an amazing improvement! Just stay the course and keep tracking. I would guess unless your macro's are way out of wack you will see that dawn number come down more over time.

    I started 3 weeks ago at 219, then I averaged 150 for a week or so, and then I dropped into the 120's for a week and now I read 104 today so the consistent carb count has finally started working for me. It takes time to turn the ship around and at 135 you are doing way less damage to yourself than at 267. Awesome work!

    Thank you, Nursebnrn & Mrron2u. I was reading some posts here yesterday, where someone had said carbs should keep to 44 or under and snacks at 15. I never knew that, it was so helpful. I plan on incorporating that daily . That along with finally finding a metformin that works with me and not against me is helping.

    Thanks, M.

    Just had health screening at work, they show FBS at 152.....still trending down though. Lots of room for improvement.

    I just did my quarterly blood work. A1c will probably be too high but hoping my test meter will tell a different story when I meet with the doctor next Friday.
