[QUOTE="Energize, post: 1418643, member: 28960"] I clearly have a huge rise in glucose as soon as I get up and would like to know if / what I can do to reduce it, please. For example, when I first get up, my glucose level is generally around 6 but, after having cleaned teeth and showered, got back into bedroom, it's risen to around 8.6 or so (Libre scans) Sometimes, it will rise +3 points. It then generally starts to slowly drop once I get downstairs. I then have coffee with cream and some cheese, or ham, for breakfast. As soon as I do anything slightly active, I notice my glucose level rises too. Having said all this, my last 3 HbA1c (Oct 16, Feb 17, Mar 17) have all been 6% so quite acceptable although I'm striving and hoping to get this even lower. I appreciate I've clearly got significant insulin resistance, hence higher than ideal glucose levels in the mornings when getting up. Also, I've noted from the graphs that I do get a small rise prior to getting up but have taken this to be normal. During the night, my glucose levels generally drops to around 4 so that may be the reason for the higher level on waking. I'm Type 2 and on Metformin 2gm daily, with low(ish) carb higher fat diet. I do have a snack before going to bed and generally glucose levels are around 5.5 or so when I put my light out I'd be very grateful for any advice as to how I can reduce this 'spike' when getting up every morning. Many thanks [/QUOTE]
