Morning @Swiggy and welcome to this FBG thread for type 2s. We're pleased you could join us.
Logging my FBG levels here, it must be said, helps to keep me motivated, especially when readings drift upwards due factors beyond our control like infection and injury.
Once again, welcome.

G'Day from Montreal, my waking BG this a.m. is 5.1 mmol/L.
Finally another normal night's sleep. That 17km run the other day really started to hurt yesterday. Easing up today. My resting HR is 47 bpm.
8 km late morning run. BG was 5.6 mmol/L on return.

As you know @PatsyB, most of us here check our FBG readings as soon as we wake. BG levels rise once we start to move around. That's normal and a modest rise is to be expected.
Are you doing everything you can to keep carb intake low ... ish during the day? Given time and a consistently LCHF lifestyle, your FBG readings should gradually fall further, so the morning rise begins from a lower starting point and gradually becomes less noticeable.
Meanwhile, IME, you can stop a jump in numbers first thing with a modest snack; we're all different, but a teaspoon or two of sunflower or pumpkin seeds or four to five almonds or hazelnuts should do the trick.

Morning @Swiggy.
Are you due for an annual review and HbA1c test shortly? Your FBG readings are not great. If this is a regular occurrence, I'd seek a medical view. Don't wait for the Surgery to contact you. Some of us need a helping hand.
