Blood glucose monitoring.

[Sparkess]

Hi everyone, I'm sharron, and a newbie, 5 week type2 , got my monitor yesterday, and my readings so far are, at the doctors 5.7 at 4pm, then befor tea 5.5 at 8 pm, then after tea 4.7 at 10pm, this morning befor getting out of bed it was 7 at 8am, this seems high, since I had not had anything since 8pm night befor, but being a newbie, I don't no if that's how it should be, thanks for reading any answers will be great. Sharron.

Your readings seem pretty good. A lot of us get a slightly higher reading first thing as your liver dumps some glucose for anticipated energy needs upon waking. You can Google "dawn phenomonon" for more info !
