8.6 last night

10.1 this morning.

I really don’t understand why :( xxx

Have a good day all xx

Keep at it.. comes down... dawn phenomenon is a real thing.. you will find many posts about it ... my way to address the dawn phenomenon has been:

- dinner as early as feasible. I target to finish before 7:00 pm.

- lowest level of carbs in dinner if possible no carbs at all.... No fruits after 4:00 pm.

- include a bit of apple cider vinegar in dinner if whats on menu is conducive (dressing on salads usually). I avoid going too much, as it has other effects. Probably a couple of tea spoons or a tablespoon at max.

- medication closer to bed time.

Hope that helps

You are doing really well
This morning I woke up with 6.5, which was a bit disappointing considering i was below 6.0 for a few days. On the more encouraging side, today before lunch i was 4.5.... a record low that I hadn’t seen since diagnosis. Have a great day
Wow! The 4.5 before lunch is whats important as so many things can affect the fbg. You're doing well too :)
