Fasting numbers - tips?

Question

I’m only a few days in and had a 99 for fasting this morning. I’ll of course consult my nutritionist, but am wondering - does anyone have any before bed snack tips that worked to keep your fasting below 90?   Any input would be appreciated, I’ve been really struggling with this diagnosis :(

Answer

My trick has been drinking TONS of water, it helps bring ur blood sugar down. I count out some crackers, the number I eat is different for different types of crackers , usually about 8 crackers and eat those with sliced cheese. Also bell peppers with sliced cheese. Lately I’ve been bad because I got super sick and just ate what I could.  I eat tons of carrots and broccoli.  Tuna is great if u can handle it, it upsets my stomach.

Answer

I was told a really high protein snack right before bed my fasting has been high last few mornings so my dietician told me to try this and see if it’ll help
I hope so cause they’re trying to force insulin on me

Answer

Mine was too so they put me on levemir after a week of testing bc my after meal numbers were pretty decent.

Answer

I'm from Denmark and we measure differently so I'm not sure how high above the limit yours is.
But I eat a ton of carrots really. It's my go to 😂 I eat a lot of rye bread as well, but it has to be pretty high in fibers to be good enough.
I'm struggling a lot with food because I feel sooooooo restricted. It's really hard to be honest 😔
That's why my go to snack meals aren't more interesting. I know the two options above work 🤷🏻‍♀️😑

Answer

I was really upset when I was first diagnosed as well, but it's been alot better than I originally thought. Eating the right foods has been easy (you know, after that initial tantrum that pizza and white pasta is out of your life for a while) and the exercise has helped me sleep better and fight the swelling. It really will be okay!!
As for my nightly snack, I've found that Light n Fir Greek Crunch yogurt and a cup of milk right before bed keeps my fasting number in the 80s!
Good luck!!

Answer

i usually have some almonds and string cheese...that helps....it also helps if you eat a mid-sleep snack...maybe when you wake up to go to the restroom at night have some nuts by your bed so you can munch on them...not ideal, but it helps
