First few days testing

Good numbers on the whole Paul, well done! The first thing in the morning reading is the last to come down because of dawn phenomenon, have a read here about it:

If you are working on your diet etc... then the morning numbers will follow suit, they just take a bit longer than the rest.

I don’t eat til around 7-7.30pm, if I were in your shoes keep with your current meal times and wait to see if your morning readings come down anyway. Dawn phenomenon as I understand it is independent of mealtimes, it’s just your liver chucking out sugar to get your body ready for the day ahead, all perfectly normal, it’s just us type 2 can’t cope with that rush of glucose.

Honestly not too high and it could be that your body and liver especially are used to a higher number so it's trying to get you back up there. Took a fair few months for me to be seeing 5's and 4's in a morning. Your postprandial numbers are looking great and your outside of mealtime numbers look great as well so I wouldn't worry too much, like the lovely @Rachox said it's the last number to come down and can be influenced by stress, sleep and so many other things.
