- Football; anything by Kylie Minogue, Madonna, Whitney Houston, any X-Factor/BGT winner, groups like Girls Aloud etc. (you get the picture); misuse of 'your', 'you're', 'their', 'there', etc.; the use of 'of' as an auxiliary verb; Facebook and Twitter (just what the hell is all this 'hashtag' stuff?); 'celebrities'; I could go on but I'm beginning to sound grumpier than I really am.
Hi, if the dawn phenomenon/liver dump raises your BG what is the point of testing on getting up or before breakfast? I normally test as I am getting up (usually between 7 and 7:30) with readings between 100 and 150. A few times I have tested at 7ish at 105/115 and tested again at 8ish just before breakfast at 140/160. How can I know if any high reading before breakfast is due to DP or not? It seems that if DP causes high BG, and there is no way of knowing when or by how much, testing before breakfast is pointless and a waste of expensive testing strips an lancets.
Thanks in advance for any info.
