Hi @Willow83 ,

Are you prescribed any meds?

If you were previously used to higher figures in the morning & this is the new low for you? Then it could induce the feeling as your body adjusts.?
But at "6.4", it's not hypoglycaemia. So don't worry...

It is however great you have a meter to correlate some numbers with your symptoms!
"Waking feeling nauseous"... Dare I suggest a urine test for something different? ;)
