Hello again ..
I monitor my BS very well now, carbs-insulin corrections etc

When i awake my BS are 6.7 (never above 9 and not below 5)

I get dressed, go down stair make a cup of tea (sweetner, semi skimmed milk)
open emails and after my cup of tea I test BS and BOOM they are 12 & above (today 12.7)

I haven't eating and no exercise (yet LOL)

This is happening every day for the past 3 weeks
I search and se "BS are high in the morning why?" but mine are NOT high they go high AFTER i get up and go downstairs.
I have no stress when i open my emails...just saying

Any ideas??

I've read in some places that sweetener may fool the body and generate a release of glucose for some people.

When do you take your basal and what type is it?
