Hi. I am supposedly pre-diabetic although the Doctors keep changing their minds. I have been monitoring my sugar levels a fair bit lately because I have started having tremors/shaking that wake me from sleep in the night and I am trying to establish if sugar levels are the issue. Most times 2 hours after a meal my levels are below 6.5 but for the last two evenings I have been getting strange readings. Last night for instance 2 hours after first bite I was 6.2 then 1 hour later was 5.1 so I had one chocolate digestive [to test effect] and 1 hour later was 5.6. I had nothing else to eat or drink and tested 1.5 hours later at bedtime and was 6.6 [retested at 6.4]? My main issue is that my morning sugars are always without exception higher than my bedtime readings and I understand this might be due to the dawn phenomenon but I also seem to get rising blood sugars after a 5/6 hour fast? Another strange thing was the night before I had pizza and at 2 hours was 6.8 but at bed which was 4 hours after first bite I was shocked that my sugar level was 10.1 but the following morning my level was 5.4 which was the lowest it had been for 2 years. I am just confused at the moment - has anyone else encountered this or have any suggestions please.
