[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2340911, member: 196898"] The morning blood reading (fasting FBG) is usually the very last one to respond to a diet change due to something called Dawn Phenomenon or Liver Dump. This is where the liver uses its stored glucose to bolster the readings up to the level it used to be at (acts like a flywheel) It will continue to do this until it either runs low on stored glucose or your body adapts to the lower intake of carbs. Any carbs you eat now will top up the liver stores and prolong the process, Normally expect to need a week or two for it to start settling down, As others have said, your levels do not seem to be excessively high so you can relax a bit. If they continue to rise then seek the doctor out again. [/QUOTE]
