5.5 this morning, following 6.1 pre-dinner (eh? - maybe a rogue) and 5.8 post dinner.

Interesting point about dreams - if we have 'stressy' dreams with fight/flight issues involved, does the liver respond to that or does it just think 'stupid brain' and ignore it?

5.8 which was surprising given the poor night's sleep I had- awake till 2 then up twice after that.
Completely with you on that one cold ethyl- less than 1 1/2 hrs sleep! I'm going to post my reading on here then may start a new thread on my awful night and day!! (Dont want to take over on here!)

I think dreams can have an impact. I sometimes have very vivid dreams (but think this could be due to extra vitamins I've been taking), anyway, I sometimes wake up from one and my heart will be pounding like mad. Haven't made a point of noticing higher morning levels on these occasions but I'm sure it must have a physiological impact.........
Sweet dreams folks!

Oooops, sorry, didn't mean that to be a "sweet" pun, but I'm sure you all knew what I meant. Obviously not really sweet dreams in our case, that would be bad for our blood sugar readings!

4,4 this morning.

Very happy with recent counts

Sorry it's in mg/dl - you need to divide by 18 to get corresponding mmol scores.

To be honest I have been a little surprised at how quickly I have been able to get my numbers down: cutting down on carbs drastically and increasing physical activity seems to have worked.

Thanks for all the support.
