Oh, OK. Things to consider. Write down what you eat and compare to fasting readings. Amount of carbs consumed daily - high or low? The more carbs - the more your liver will dump sugars into your bloodstream as you start to wake. Can you stop eating a bit earlier? For example, I try very hard not to eat after 8pm. A bit simple but it’s a start. Search this website - lots and lots of resources and plenty of kind people.
I was going to play with more colours, but that one was just with bedside lamp, and that was the natural colours, more or less, and to add vibrancy was wrong.
I have a pair of those shiny Chinese steel balls @jjraak but I play with them in bed so they don't have far to drop...
Thank you @gennepher and yes I got my excused flying note
Really good news that the drive went well @jjraakHi .
A fed days FBG's all high 6 or lo low 7
Steady as she goes I fear, but no nasty surprises and given the circumstances, unsurprising, really
Thank you @ianpspurs .
Recovery slower then expected in my eyes, at least.
Hand becoming a concern, grip & dexterity, after one week Shy of 3 months , not where I was hoping
And from what at the time was a seemingly simple injury (on the whole)
However better news, while walking is still assisted by gutter crutch, I am mobilising more each day, though it has to be said, everyday activities are more like a punishing gym session to which I have to assign a rest day, if I overdo it
BUT, in a determination to have & meet simple goals, I set myself to be back in the car end of this week & meet Steph for lunch one day.
Succeeded in the driving last Sunday, had wife's best friend's daughter (henceforth *neice )
Who has-been using car until she replaces hers.
Sit with my (just In case I tired ..one leg, & both arms injured , a rather unknown quantity, pushing, pulling, etc )
But drive went great.
So well in fact that today, I met our Steph
I missed her birthday dinner recently gone.
Not fit for a few hours in a restaurant .
So today we hit nandoes, a delicious dinner, a tiny bit of shopping
And the kicker....train strike here in the capital.
Steph off to Richmond no trains so ages on buses etc .
A quick check I was fine offering daddy-uber,
And just like that she was delivered safely.
And on returning home, A small pat on the back for myself, and a feeling of usefulness returns slightly ...
So yeah, slower in places, but one or two highlights, as well.
As @dunelm has said it does sound like the morning glucose dump from the liver - Dawn Phenomenon. It took months of low carb before morning blood sugars came down.
Welcome to this little part of this useful site,

Best Wishes K
Thanks @Granny_grump_ I have the pain of arthritis, The dryness of Sjogrens Syndrome, profound deafness in both ears (I have a cochlear implant in one ear, from 14 years ago, but it's not turn it on and you have instant hearing, which most people seem to think, I am still learning what sounds are, I had never heard sound before), and a few more things too!
