Prediabetes Fasting high reading

[burleybrown]

My BS readings are mostly ok two hours after eating in the day but my first thing in the morning ones are high. Why?

Probably due to the dawn phenomenon. Tour liver is trying to be helpful and dumps a load of glucose to help you get going.

DP (Dawn Phenomenon) foot on the floor syndrome, there are a few names for it. Its your liver giving your boday a "boost" of glucose to get you going

Ok so I shouldn’t be worried?

Depends on the levels?

Between 5:9 and 6:3 most mornings

For those levels definitely not, they are not high readings at all

Same here. The only times I don't get non-diabetic readings are first thing in the morning, or if I've deliberately broken my low carb diet (experimenting with what I can and can't get away with.)

Just a crazy thought: but surely a non-diabetic's liver has this 'body boost' function, too. Are we setting ourselves an unrealistic goal expecting a normal fasting level first thing, when every fasting blood test I've ever had at my GP was taken at least an hour after I got up?

A non diabetic also has a working pancreas
