[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 753515, member: 17713"] I think that as OH gets up late he will probably be having dawn phenomenon kicking in.. This is just our bodies reacting to getting up and doesn't necessarily mean it only happens at dawn. Then he goes to have his eats and latte which will increase it more. Which is actually two things that would be raising bloods. If he testing teatime.. He would probably find that if he was to test 2 hours after his eating and the latte that he would be even higher and that by teatime he had started to drop to 16ish. If he not going to test regularly Molly you are never going to find out what is happening. I think you will be up against it with NHS as well for testing...as their advice can still be backward.they, I hope will emphasise his need to test prior to getting behind a steering wheel. The NHS are slow in telling people to test pre meal and after meals etc. so, if he only listens to the NHS-I doubt if personally if he will actually get to normalised blood levels. This forum and the actively aware diabetics here are the only ones really that actively state to "eat to your meter".....NHS don't. They are still unlikely to supply your OH with enough strips to really test properly. These comments sound a bit negative when I've reread them, but I think they are factual as to the state of help that you will get if you are reliant upon the NHS to advise OH. [/QUOTE]
