That may well have played a part. However, I'd expect that reaction to have been during or shortly after my walk? Rather than the next morning? May be it was the outta wack macro combinations? 2% carbohydrate 9.7 g 12% protein 67.2 g 86% fat 217.7 g Who knows? I do heavily suspect it's more...

7.6 mmol / L this morning. 5.3 mmol / L at bed time. Disappointed with that as I had a very low carb (9.7g) day yesterday and walked the longest walk of the week yesterday - over 5 miles! Suspect that I tested after my dawn phenomenon that my Pancreases just can not adjust. Knew I should have...

6.5 mmol / L this morning. No bed time reading - oops! Bed time was a naughty forty minutes past midnight but, sleep was good quality. Usually test on waking in bed but, this morning's test was at least half an hour after rising.

5.3 mmol / L this morning. 4.3 mmol / L at bed time. Bed time was 20 minutes the good side of midnight and good quality sleep. Fasted (nothing but drinks of water) prior to bed time reading for over 26 hours - was surprisingly easy to do! :D Had bed time food (Protein and fat macro...

6.4 mmol / L this morning. 5.3 mmol / L at bed time. Good sleep from before midnight but, a bit heavy on the carbs yesterday - 91g. Extra carbs to hopefully increase leptin prior to today's fast.

5.9 mmol / L this morning. 5.8 mmol / L at bed time. That's more like it! :) Bed time was just before midnight. Sleep quality was lower than normal. Possibly awake prior to my Dawn Phenomenon?

6.9 mmol / L this morning. 9.9 mmol / L at bed time. I'm reasonably happy with that considering the high at bed time - which I didn't expect to be in the 9s!

7.4 mmol / L this morning. 6.0 mmol / L at bed time. Suspect lie in was past my Dawn Phenomenon. Also, bed time was past midnight. @s_k_s a bit late on parade today - my apologies! ;)

6.2 mmol / L this morning. 5.9 mmol / L at bed time. Bed time 10 to midnight and up early for a Sunday. Experimented with eating something different at bed time.

@Robbity - Yes, totally off the medication now - was only ever on Metformin. I think it's a mixture of things. I had a lot of carbs between 6pm & 7:30pm and at 9:15pm I ate a vegetable stir fry with two large eggs kind of scrambled in to it - a bit like egg fried rice but, with stir fry rather...

7.0 mmol / L this morning. 4.6 mmol / L at bed time. What was different? Well bed time was bang on midnight - good but, could be better. Sleep was good - only woke once and got a good eight hours. Suspects: Didn't have usual bed time food. Too many carbs yesterday - well over the 35g limit at...

5.3 mmol / L this morning. 6.2 mmol / L at bed time. Despite bed time being past 1am and quality being less than 50%! WOW!

It's just that figures on their own seem meaningless. Well, it's not just that. I eat the same thing at bed time and have found sleep before midnight and of good quality affects my morning fasting blood glucose level so I include it as pertinent information for others to see. Plus, it will help...

6.2 mmol / L this morning. 4.8 mmol / L at bed time. Sleep started past 1am but, wasn't too bad quality wise.

I was told I wouldn't! :( It may be different in different locations?

6.3 mmol / L this morning. 5.8 mmol / L at bed time. Quite good considering bed time was past 1am & I had less than 5 hours sleep - where I woke up and had a weird panicky moment that took a while to pass before I could return to the land of nod!

6.5 mmol / L this morning. 5.2 mmol / L at bed time. Not bad considering bed time was past 1am! ;)

At diagnosis I was above the middle of the acceptable Body Mass Index but, that's not necessarily a reliable indicator of health. Severe prolonged stress messes with your hormones and eventually leads to adrenal fatigue. One of the hormones affected is insulin which stores excess blood glucose...

A prolonged period of severe stress is what brought on my Type 2 Diabetes - I vividly remember my Dr and Practice Nurse telling me I didn't fit the standard profile for someone to be diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes.

Probably - I know sleep quality or lack of sleep seems to affect my morning fasting levels.
