Was diagnosed T2 almost 4 months ago, have got a handle on most things but I am struggling to understand what is happening with my morning BS so any pointers, things to read etc would be greatly appreciated, not due back at the GP for a couple of weeks..
Currently on 2x 1g Metformin SR a day, changed diet to lower carbs and increased exercise.
From midday on my BS is averaging between 5 and 6.5 (before meals and 2 hrs after) usually when I wake up in the morning it's 6.5-7.5.
Last night I fell off the wagon and allowed myself to eat whatever I wanted for my birthday which consisted of pasta, pizza, cake and wine. 2 hours afterwards in the evening it was 6.7, this morning when I woke up it was 10.4, fine I could expect that with what I ate last night but snoozing for an hour and testing myself again it was then 6.0, did repeat the tests to make sure they weren't erroneous.
So why is BS so high in the morning and then dropping to what I consider normal when I haven't done anything, eat, drink, move?
