Type 2 Confused blood sugar reading - newly diagnosed

Hi jyn, when I was diagnosed in May I was testing eight times a day. On waking, before and two hours after first bite of each meal and then at bedtime. I've now dropped the one on waking as I seem to not be suffering from liver dump/dawn phenomenon any longer. That's what you're seeing, a rise of blood sugar reading overnight caused by the liver dumping sugar into your blood stream while you're asleep in readiness for the day ahead. Here's a link about it:

You will not start to get normal blood glucose levels for a while, it is still early days and your liver will most likely be only too willing to release glucose into your bloodstream.
If you can lower your post meal readings down by reducing your intake of carbs then your metabolism will, hopefully begin to correct itself.
