Teena replied to LaurenAdela's discussion 'High Fasting numbers'"Good job on the weight loss! And yes, drinking water helps in lowering bg levels."

Stemwinder replied to LaurenAdela's discussion 'High Fasting numbers'"30 pounds is a great start. I know its sounds like a broken record sometimes (and I use to hate hearing it) but they really are the best things you can do for T2.
Fasting bs from 350 to 121 is excellent progress."
LaurenAdela replied to LaurenAdela's discussion 'High Fasting numbers'"Thank you everyone! your suggestions would explain a lot. I was exercising regularly the first two weeks, but haven't been able to this past week, because I'm on vacation all next week, I'm working late every single night.
Could that…"
Brian (bsc) replied to LaurenAdela's discussion 'High Fasting numbers'"I struggle with high morning numbers (DP) as well and always have. Like Teena, when bad, my morning fastings are more exagerated. I have tried lots of things over the years to tame the DP. I stack my metformin at night, I've tried all kinds of…"
Stemwinder replied to LaurenAdela's discussion 'High Fasting numbers'"This is pretty common with T2. It can be a case of dawn phenomenon where your liver dumps glucose in the morning to give energy to start your day. For PWD that don't have the capability to process the extra glucose effectively it causes a bs…"
Teena replied to LaurenAdela's discussion 'High Fasting numbers'"Ive had problems with my FBS 2 years ago. Im also taking Metformin ER (500 mg once daily). My endo and I "worked" on it for several weeks by "tweaking" some of my activities, carb intake: - Though 142 is relatively high, mine…"
Spock replied to LaurenAdela's discussion 'High Fasting numbers'"OK, 142 as a fasting is not terrible, but could be better.
The other numbers and their consistency would make me rejoice.
AR is right on--for Type 2 with no insulin, exercise is key. If you are adding carbs, you need to work them off to maintain…"
acidrock23 replied to LaurenAdela's discussion 'High Fasting numbers'"I agree with your assessment, not "off the charts" but not "normal" either. There's quite a few people here who were dx'ed with T2 (what I'd guess w/ the rx?) but went on for a while and it changed to T1 as stuff…"

Hi All!This is my first post. I'm a newly diagnosed diabetic (about 3 weeks). I'm on Metformin and Lisinopril (for my kidneys), but no insulin.For some reason my fasting numbers are a bit higher than I'd like. Nothing insanely off the charts, but I'm trying very hard to manage as well as I can so I can be medication free, that's my goal for 2013 (to lose weight and be medication free)I'll give you a quick history to give you more information:When I was first diagnosed, I went on as close to a…See More
