I finally got an almost-good fasting number!

My fasting sugar this morning was 103!  I'm hoping that it'll start getting better in the next few days.  This is the lowest it's been!  Woohoo!

    what was your snack last night?  103 is still pretty high.  You may want to cut out carbs at night and just eat protein like nuts or cheese. I would do that tonight and see if it makes a difference.

    I know it's still high but I'm only supposed to be under 100 and this is the first time it's been below 115.  I usually don't have a snack at all but last night I made sugar free jello and had one serving with a glass of milk around 8pm.  I've tried protein (nuts) before bed and it had no effect on my numbers at all.

    I'm hoping this is just a sign that the meds are starting to work and maybe it'll continue to come down a bit.  I'm just excited that it finally dropped a little.  It's been so frustrating!

    Definitely!  What meds do they have you on?  No matter what I did for my snack at night I couldn't get my fasting number down.  Luckily, since I've been on the glyburide my numbers are great.

    They have me on a low dose of glucophage.  If my fasting stull doesn't come down in a few days, I'm going to call and see if they need to up the dosage.

    you're right, I didn't mean to sound so negative.  I'm glad your numbers are coming down.

    It's okay.  It's just such a stressful process and I've only been dealing with it for about a week so I'm still learning a lot.  Thank goodness for you ladies on this board or I would be totally lost!!!  :-)
