    I do tend to have high readings in the morning before breakfast - 13 ish. Heard of the liver dump or dawn phenomenon, what can I do to help this a bit?

    Type 2s: What was your fasting blood glucose in a morning? (very low chat level)

    Diagnosed on Tuesday. Not on meds as I am try to control by diet. Have had a low since then of 7.1 but just tested after breakfast and 10.3. Is this usual when newly diagnosed. Cutting carbs right down and trying the LCHF Diet. Don't think I got a lot of info from Practice Nurse. Thanks

    Blood Glucose high readings in the morning

    Was only diagnosed on Tuesday and decided to try and cope without Metformin. Had good readings Wednesday but last night after dinner went to 14. Tested again after breakfast and gone up a bit more. Could porridge account for high reading this morning? Still all new to me
