Poor grammar, bullying and drunks.
If I have converted correctly 107mg/dl is 5.9mmol. Is this reading higher than you would normally see? If so, there are various reasons for a high fasting reading, the main one is Dawn Phenomena but infection and poor sleep can see higher than expected levels. It is possible also that it could be a rogue reading and if this happens you should test again to make sure.

I had a reading of 107mg/dl in the morning

Should be max 5.6 (100 mg/dl). But if you have T2D the number 5.9 is not so bad.

Also the meter can have +- 15% error.

To be honest - 5.9 is nice number.
