Fasting Blood Glucose
What with the bothersome dawn effect, I can't get my fasting BG down below 120 on a regular basis. Sometimes it's in the teens, rarely lower. Over the last few months it hasn't gone higher than mid 130s, except once it was 145. (I know how that happened & it won't happen again!)
At Blood Sugar 101, she says FBG should be below 100. I can't remember what Dr. B suggests. For the rest of the day my BG is usually OK - below 130 1-2 hours after meals - often below 120 - and below 110 before meals.
What I'm wondering is: Is my FBG too high to be healthy? Should I be looking at some sort of medication (NOT metformin!)? I'm not taking any meds right now. I don't think I could lower my carb count by much - I'm generally under 20 carbs per day. But I suppose I could manage to get it under 10. I've done it before.
Any suggestions or ideas?
