[QUOTE="Ultramum, post: 1545855, member: 276840"] Had my most recent HbA1c result - was hoping to go lower but it was 51. I was a bit disappointed to start with [emoji57] but considering it has been knocking around 68 or so for two years then that is pretty good 6 months in.[emoji2] I'm running at an average of between 6-7 most days and lunch and evening meal rarely raise the BG more than 1 - it's the morning that remains a problem - but I'm working on it. I wake in high 6's with the odd low 7 and if I can have breakfast and sit for an hour or so reading work paperwork before getting washed and dressed then I end up in low 8 numbers. However days when I go to actual work are still taking me up to 9's due to my liver interpreting the morning shower, hair, dressing and make-up routine as some form of major exercise [emoji79] and pumping out the glucagon [emoji50] I've tried showering in the evening ready for the next day but, being a lady of a certain age who has to sleep with one leg out of the covers, I don't wake up fresh enough to go to work without another shower! ... and don't even look at the hair! This seems to be the main problem area so I'm keeping on with the liver blocks and hoping that my liver will soon learn the new regime! Just off to a very slow shower etc before my first three days of actual work this week! [/QUOTE]
