Morning all 8.8 this morning. Maybe because I have a urine infection.

Yes @May Mic and @mojo37. That's because you are diabetic.

Your body needs more fuel on getting out of bed first thing in the morning and your liver obliges.

Given time and a consistent LCHF lifestyle, your FBG readings should gradually fall, so the blood glucose rise will begin from a lower starting point and look less pronounced.

I have a very generous liver lol

Evening @RosemaryJackson. Your profile doesn't tell us the type of diabetes you've developed and whether treated with medication or diet alone.

Might be helpful to know, if you would like suggestions from members based on our experience.

My average is usually between 8 & 9. Considering I started Insulin in June I don’t know if that’s any good.

Hope you are soon feeling better @PenguinMum; @Mojo, thanks, am feeling better this morning, well done on the bg's. 7.9 for me today, coming down . @LivingLightly, I'm type 2, diagnosed in 2009 with A1c of 88. Came off Metformin about a year ago so it's diet alone.

Thank goodness you escaped that fall with bruises @PenguinMum and no other injuries, but it must have shaken you up.

Good evening @Faceman2153 and welcome to this FBG thread. We're pleased you could join us.

Between 8 and 9 mmol is on the high side.
Once again, welcome.
