[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 2349931, member: 6467"] The guidance for those past a certain age seems to be "Poor ******* don't have long to go, let them enjoy themselves. Something else will probably finish them off anyway.". Maintaining good BG levels for those who are in care homes with dementia seems pointless. However I assume that isn't you as you are asking questions on this forum. :) You do need to give us much more information, though. What tablets, and what dosage? What is your HbA1c? Your reading before breakfast is your fasting BG, and this is often affected by Dawn Phenomenon which is when your body loads you blood stream with extra glucose to set you up for the day. If your BG levels then drop back to normal during the day and you don't spike enormously after meals then your overall BG management could be satisfactory. Spot readings of BG are not as important as your overall readings (as shown by HbA1c). Anyway, welcome to the forum. Give us information and we will respond with (sometimes) good advice. Edited by moderator in line with forum policy on acceptable language [/QUOTE]
