In some individuals this raising of blood glucose levels on waking is very pronounced.As totsy posted it really helps to have your insulin & breakfast because this action halts the liver dumping glucose– if you cannot face food immediately on waking try the almond trick – that’s if you can eat nuts & you like almonds  :lol:  :lol: – eating even a couple of dried almonds can halt the liver dumping until you are ready to take your insulin & eat breakfast.  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /> Best wishesTxx</blockquote>
