Same here. My fasting blood glucose in the morning is usually between 85-100 mg/dl. I've been off meds entirely for over a year.

Just as an FYI, beer doesn't have as many carbs as you think, and alcohol tends to lower glucose levels. However, they're totally empty calories that you should avoid when trying to lose weight.
