| Morning Spikes
Hello, I am new to this forum.
I was diagnosed with Type 2 just before Christmas 2007. My fasting sugar level was around 16mmol/L so they could not do the glucose test at the Clinic. After eating - fairly normal meals, my level rose to around 22 or 23 mmol/L.
My doctor put me on 1 tablet of Glucomet mid day and expected I would have to increase that.
Changed my diet, took some Fenugreek and an increase in medication was not needed.
Eventually, on the 4th July this year, I stopped the medication all together since it was causing dramatic lows. I took the advise of a retired GP, who had worked in this field for 20 years, and cut out all carbs such as bread - potatoes - rice etc and my whole system seemed to come into a nice balance.
One difficulty still remains. My glucose level always spikes after breakfast. It starts around 6 mmol/L when I wake in the morning and then spikes to around 12 or 14 as soon as I have anything - however small to eat. This is slightly lower 9 or 10 if I have no fruit. During the day, even after eating a good meal, it stays balanced.
I take 2 fenugreek capsules (these are made by 'Health Aid' and contain 200mg standardized Fenugreek Seed Extract and 400mg Raw Fenugreek powder) and one ALA (Alpha lipoic acid) with the morning meal.
Should I be taking something late evening so that it is in my system in the morning?
I would also like to say that I feel TONS better - I feel I have got my life back again - am losing weight very gradually and am getting on with my very busy job (Marketing Director)  |
