A higher reading first thing in the morning is likely to be due to the 'Dawn Phenomenon' where your liver dumps stored glucose into your blood when you wake to get you going. It is quite normal, even for non-diabetics.6.3 at 6.40am....is this normal? Im new and this is my first morning reading....yesterday 2 hours after meals it was 5.8
Hi Sunderlandlass Just wanted to say well done with your results you must be so happy.5.6 for me this morning ☺
Got my hba1c results this afternoon from 4/4/2016

Cholesterol down from 6.1 to 4.4
Still a work in progress, but a happy bunny today ☺
Thanks to everyone here for your fantastic support and advice ☺
Hi again How many metformin do you take ? I take 2 dailyThanks @Hiitsme ☺ must admit at being amazed at how well the lchf works, and at myself for managing to achieve this in such a short time! Fingers crossed that I can sustain the same progress by my next blood tests! I do find it hard to keep my carbs so low sometimes, and I can always see in my bg, when I have made a mistake or been over my limit. I had wondered if an extra dose of metformin in the morning, instead of just at night, might help? Any ideas?
BumpSome posts have to be moved to start another thread because they are asking questions. If they get answered within this thread then they are only getting answers from a small audience whereas if their post goes onto the forum then they will get more answers as other posters will join in. People ask all manner of things here including diet questions, other health problem questions and they may get a few answers here or they may be ignored as often happens.
You have to be sensible and only post about your fasting levels rather than say that your cat is not well. your BF is in a bad mood, the dog ate your slippers, you are going on holiday, etc......It is not relevant to the topic and nor are recipe queries, blood test results.
