Having see recent posts about waking Blood Sugar levels affected by Dawn Phenomenon, especially concerns from some about high readings, I have posted my waking readings since I started testing following diagnosis on 22 Jan this year:
WC 4/4 - 5.6, 6.0, 5.5, 6.3, 6.7, 5.9, 5.8
WC 28/3 - 6.5, 6.2, 6.0, 6.0, 6.8, 6.4, 5.6
WC 21/3 - 6.4, 6.1, 5.7, 5.7, 6.6, 5.7, 6.5
WC 14/3 - 7.1, 5.6, 6.2, 6.8, 6.3, 6.8, 6.5
WC 7/3 - 5.6, 5.5, 6.1, 7.1, 6.6, 6.1, 6.3
WC 29/2 - 7.2, 6.1, 5.7, 6.6, 6.2, 5.8, 6.5
WC 22/2 - 6.7, 5.7, 7.5, 7.5, 6.0, 5.6, 6.2
WC 15/2 - 6.4, 6.4, 7.3, 5.7, 6.3, 6.6, 5.9
WC 8/2 - 6.9, 5.4, 6,7, 7.7, 6.1, 6.0, 6.4
The week previous and my first ever reading was 5.5 a figure only eve seen twice after!
I can find no pattern in these figures apart from the readings greater than 7 are less frequent. My readings do not seem to be impacted on whether I have a high or low post evening meal figure the night before nor if I have had a late evening snack. Neither is there any link to the time I get up.
The way I see these figures, following discussions on this thread after I started it and consideration of the site guide on this matter, is that waking Blood Sugar levels are merely snap shots of a very complicated process so I am not that bothered if I get the occasional +7.
