A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question 💭

I go to bed with a reading of 5.4. and I am over the moon with this. Next morning I take a fasting reading and its at 6.8.🤬 My last meal was yesterday's lunch so I am thinking its the dawn phenomenon of increased cortisol thats adding the extra 1.5 mmol/l to my reading. Its seldom that I see it come down at all before I have eaten my breakfast and pretty much I am super hungry by then. After all its been 18 hours.

A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question 💭

Last A1c was 9. Since them (4 months), I have eliminated all sugar and wasted carbs from my diet. I'm am readily losing weight but am hoping to reduce the 1500 MGs of Metformin ER and Jardiance that I take everyday. My fasting blood sugars (with the above medicine) are typically under 100.

Can Non-medicated People On Low Carb/ Limited Calorie Intake Get Too Low Bg?
A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question 💭

Once or twice, over the past 2 months, I felt light-headed and unwell. I took my bg and had numbers in the low 60's. What does this mean and is it healthy and normal?
