okay i think i am nearing the other extreme.

it was 105 in September before I started Met, which while elevated is not extremely high. Anyway I have been taking gradually up to 1000 and two days ago I got my test.

my fasting glucose is 69...

despite my relief that it is not pre-diabetic, that seems awfully low.

i hadn't eaten 13 hours before that. what i am wondering is if it would be much higher if i stopped eating even 8-10 hours beforehand rather than that low. the more i go without eating, the lower it is apparently?

i'm wondering if that is a hypoglycemic number and is dangerous in itself?

i'm also taking chromium polynicotinate as of last week so it's only been a few days since i've begun that supplement.

Your numbers look great...a 12 or 13 hour reading is fine and some labs request that longer fast so they can see what your sugars do. The difference between 60 and 59...One point is absolutely nothing to worry about. Less than 50 is hypo and you're well above that.

Relax...that's great news!
