Hi
Im carol I have been dx type 2 for about 1year I am 1 stone under weight .Thanks to this forum which I found in Sept last year I have by reduced carbing got bgs down from 29.6 when dx to a Hba1c of 7 at my last clinic .My problem is that my fasting levels in the morning is around 8 eg this morning 8.3 but yesterdays levels after 3 hours after food were 5.9 .This is more or less what happens every day.My last blood test (fastng) for my Hba1c was 7.7. I have tried a snack before bed but it doesnt seem to work I had full fat yoghurt with nuts and a little fruit last night.9.30pm..My dn is happy with the Hba1c but I would like it lower, obviously my morning levels are keeping it up. I do not want to lower the carbs anymore because I need to put weight on and I dont want to take more meds I am on 1000mgs Glucophage 2x daily.Am I worrying too much about the morning levels? Has anyone out ther had similar probs?
