[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2610234, member: 401801"] First off, [I]breathe[/I]. Okay, so. When you wake in the morning, there's something called Dawn Phenomenon, which means your liver dumps glucose into your bloodstream. (Though I think you may already have read this). Thing is, the liver doesn't just do that upon waking. It does the same thing when you're stressed, when you have a restless night with nightmares or insomnia, when you wake up a few times to go to the loo, or the neighbour's dog's being loud... Maybe hormones are wreaking havoc. Maybe you had a cold. Anything can happen. There's so many reasons why the dump may be higher some mornings than others. And the fasting numbers are the last ones to go down, should you tackle the daytime (post-meal) numbers. You could have absolutely beautiful bloodsugars all day long, and still have a bit of a peak in the morning. So those numbers mean exactly [I]nothing[/I] in terms of whether or not you're crossed the diabetic threshold, okay? Your HbA1c is much more meaningful far as that is concerned, and since your diagnosis is recent, I think they may have been done not too long ago? What was your HbA1c, do you happen to know, or can you look it up? In any case, have a read here about the whole diabetes thing and how to get numbers down, but for the moment... No worries. You're not doomed or anything. You came to the right place to get your numbers down, whatever they are.
