Morning All
5.5 for me this morming, bit late posting as I got absorbed reading Alzebras article about type 2 Not being caused by obesity.
Interesting to me on two counts.
First, when I first saw the Doc and described my symptoms, he said that that I was almost certainly diabetic but because I was 55 and "clearly not obese" he feared it could be late onset type 1. Fortunately, this turned out not to be the case, but it does illustrate the point. Second. I worked in the chemical industry for over 20 years and have certainly come across some of the suspect compounds mentioned.
JenniferW - I almost always see a higher result on rising as you have done. This is probably attrbutable to the "dawn phenomenon" - when your liver gives you a dose of glucose to get you going for the day. In time, with diet control you should see all your levels decrease but they will still probably fluctuate.
