I'm trying to fix what seems to be a dawn phenomenon (this was taken at 4:10 am).
All my before-lunch are into the 5.0 -5.5 range (and they even include having had morning snacks of either almonds or pepitas)

For supper last night, I had 3 medium-sized roasted chicken thighs, 2 cups tabbouleh (the last of it), and about 1/3 cup cauliflower. That was at 5 pm.

I think my portions at supper time should be smaller - cutting back to no more than 2 chicken and 1 cup tabbouleh.

Dislikes
I have Asperger Syndrome which is an autism spectrum condition and a full diagnosis of Adult ADHD which are characterised by impairments in social communication, social interaction and social imagination. I also have a rigid and somewhat unpredictable routine. I also experience obsessive rituals, some a bit overwhelming. But I have a talent in articulate creative writing skills and possess a photographic rote memory. I have sensory sensitivity and get upset by loud noises, bright colours or lights, and notice the texture and consistency of certain foods more making my dietary choices extremely limited or restricted to certain food components. I dislike conflict and lies. The Adult ADHD also makes me very moody and cross.
My fasting blood sugar was 6.3 millimoles per litre. For my breakfast I ate a bowl of cornflakes with long life milk and for an evening meal I ate a special fried rice take away.
