Debmcgee, My morning reading seem to be where my problem is. I frequently get in the low 5s before meals (5.0 is still the lowest, I am eagerly awaiting seeing a 4) and can keep it in high 6s to low 7s after a meal. I do have a problem that if it gets into the low 5s too long before a meal then I get a glucose dump from my liver and have had a reading of over 8 just before the meal even though I hadn't had anything to eat and a couple of hours previously it had been in the mid 5s. Even having a small none carb snack doesn't seem to stop it. I have a feeling that as I am waking up and dosing for an hour or so before the alarm goes off is probably not helping. It will be interesting to see what it is when the mornings are darker. Getting up when I wake up wouldn't help as it would disturb my OH and we would just end up prowling and irritable until we left for work.
