As a T2 for 3 years, and been on many forums, what's the point of readings first thing,you've been asleep for how many hours,in-between peeing, so what does it really teach us
Surely the rest of the days intake and monitoring your progress or lack of is more important than the morning prick test?.
You, hopefully, have not been munching on Haribo all night, so in my, humble opinion, and may I say I am not in anyway qualified, only through my own experience, too much emphasiste put on T2s to take " prick," readings every 2 hours, is not only unessessary but harmfull, causes too much stress and anxiety.
If you are eating something new, fair enough, test!, if you're eating a set meal plan chill out and your DNS will tell you
Still worried? Ask for a ref to a nutrionlist .
I know we're all differentend it's very confusing, what we're told we can and cannot eat, what our carb intake differs,the weight we started at and so on ,5.6 mmol is a lot lower than myself but I'm happy with that as I only have loGI porridge then nothing until late evening
So, sounds like you're OK,and for goodness don't stress.
Oh, and if you are able, excercise, walking is good but balance and muscle boulding/cardio only for 10 mins a day to start with if fine, you will soon expand on the minutes * you'll be surprised) it doesn't take long 3/4 weeks and you will feel the difference and feel "achieved in yourself
Best to you.
