Hi all I experienced a high fbg at 6.30 am it was 14 .1 ! I nearly fell off my chair !
Told my son when he came down at 8am and he looked it up on line apparently I was probably experiencing "dawn phenomenon " so I repeated my bg (I was slitting fasting)
And it had come down to 7.6 . So if you're up early and your fbg is higher than usual
It could be the cause , helpful advice given by dibetes UK !

@DR123 - That's good that you are reading up and understanding these things. I wouldn't worry - did you know that when you worry it causes stress and stress releases Cortisol (hormone) into the blood which then elevates blood sugar.

 

[DR123]

Hi Liam no I wasn't stressed when I took it but I am a newbie and will read and learn as much as I can to make my body good again, I've not been looking after myself for quite a few years now, and I look forward to everybody's advice thanks ☺

Checked blood sugar level for the first this morning before breakfast and it was 10 last checked last night after meal it was 13.1 does not seem to have gone down much over night

Hi @fredjones1uk and welcome to the forum. A high reading first thing in the morning might be due to the 'Dawn Phenomenom' where your liver dumps stored glucose into your bloodstream to give you a boost when you wake.

7.7 at 7am, but it shot up to 10.5 an hour after my usual breakfast. I had a very broken night so that may be why? Dropped to 8.3 at 2 hours after breakfast. Was 6.2 just prior to lunch.

Not a good day again, this throat virus along with recovering from eye op is keeping me at 10's from early morning through now to lunch time.

These figures are not too bad @TooManyCrisps its the 2hr after meals ones that count

Thanks. I've only had a couple of readings over 10, and they make me panic.
