my levels are always highest in the morning. But Im a really bad sleeper unless I take sleeping pills could this be the reason being restless all night??

My levels aren't brilliant in the mornings. A few weeks ago, I tested within five minutes of waking up and it was ok. Not brilliant, but ok. Then I tested again, about half hour later, after I'd done morning things, - shower, teeth, ( No breakfast) etc, and it had gone up by more than four points.
Go figure?

Lack of sleep certainly doesn't help, especially if it's due to stress or anxiety. I've been waking up around 4.30 or 5 recently for some reason, with my heart banging away about something - dreams involving life direction uncertainty themes if you believe that sort of thing.
5.8 here, still on the sus strips.

Thanks for the encouragement Its been a learning curve over the last two weeks much helped by everybody on the forumDale - We've all been in your place. We all started somewhere, and I certainly didn't start in the 4s!!
Just one of the reasons it's fantastic to have a range of posters post their numbers - good, bad and ugly - is that it helps new people appreciate hany different people react in different ways to their conditions and to the journey they are on.
Bring on the next best! It's not a race, but we all love to see progress, in ourselves and others.
Thank you alliebee didn't help this morning when I decided to do early test (6.30) without the light on as it wakes Sam my Parrot thought I could manage by the illuminated screen got strip in pricked finger spent about 30 seconds trying to get bloods on stick. just as I managed it batteries went in meter! next time will put on torch lolI've had this in the past Paula...going to bed at a nice 6. And waking at 10 or 11...its so disheartening isn't it...that pesky liver dump..also if you are late with breakfast. Numbers just go up....it amazes me how some days you can cut carbs as low as you can. And yet somewhere somehow bloods don't register it...so we keep plodding on ..because weight will eventually come off again...good luck
he is an African grey and suffers with me bless him. I sleep so poorly and try not to wake him (they like a good 12 hours kip!) but if I am awake he starts asking to be let out and peeking under his blankets so everything after 11.30 is done in the dark. If the kettle goes on he wants tea. Loves PG Tips and asks for 'monkey bags' and makes a crackle sound when I take my meds, and zip sounds when I test my levels then says ooohh. Be lost without himThat made me laugh. Poor Sam. I love parrots
