I woke up at 6.50 this morning and was 4.4. Went back to sleep. Woke again at 9.10am (had a very late night!) and was 4.8 !! Why the heck had it gone up???
Its Yer liver...generously gives out glucose know as the dawn phenomenonI woke up at 6.50 this morning and was 4.4. Went back to sleep. Woke again at 9.10am (had a very late night!) and was 4.8 !! Why the heck had it gone up???
Someone added something earlier re their height and it's something I hadn't thought about. But being tall does affect BP and heartrate and having longer muscle bellies would probably need more energy to use them than someone of a lower height. Taller people do burn energy a lot quicker. The guy said he was 2mtrs tall that's about 6'7" ish. I think he may have a point. But I'm no expert as obviously you must be. That's why I opened the question.I wouldn't have thought that your height affects your Blood Sugar levels. Why would it?
My readings were 7.7 at 0745 then I tested again at 0755 and it was 8.2. I think the new meter I am using is faulty or my cold has affected readings. I haven't had such high readings since I've been testing over the last four weeks.
I'm no expert, just wondered how height could affect BP. I understand why it would be related to BMI.Someone added something earlier re their height and it's something I hadn't thought about.

5.3 thism orning. I don't know if I am blogging correctly. My mode of operation is to see a reply button and click.Hi. My husband kindly wakes me each morning by checking my BS. I'm usually either 4. something or 6. something, depending on what time I go to bed. Today was 4.5 - I actually made it to bed before midnight! (I have chronic pains in my legs, which keep me up until the morphine kicks in!)
See you tomorrow?!
If you're not tall you would never have had the low BP when standing up and nearly falling over reaction. Not nice for us tallies.I'm no expert, just wondered how height could affect BP. I understand why it would be related to BMI.

OK I can understand that. I still don't understand how it would affect BS levels though. As someone who is vertically challenged, it seems to me that the few diabetics I know, or saw on the DESMOND course, are not that tall. All were around 5'6".If you're not tall you would never have had the low BP when standing up and nearly falling over reaction. Not nice for us tallies.
