Thanks for this Jokalsbeek. Is it possible then or likely, due to Dawn Phenomenon, that BG in the morning can potentially be higher than it was after meal at night? Have only recently started measuring post-meal occasionally, so maybe good idea to do this. Has anyone been on low-carb programme...

Try to keep below 5.5 but was 5.7 this morning, although I didn't really have much in terms of carbs last night. Perhaps the way to go is to measure 2 hours after meals to see what effect a particular food is having. Sometimes, it's down to the overall calories consumed over a day (I think!). I...

Got free replacement for my 'faulty' tubs of Codefree strips. These are performing more normally again, however, still in the dark about unexpected 'highs'. Might enrol on the Low Carb programme for 3 months. I wonder how other people have found this...?

Glad you asked that because I was also wondering how much drinking generally impacts on sugar levels.
