Good readings except upon waking

[MauraH]

Hi everyone, My A1C has been in the 5.5 range since August, 2015 yet my first reading in the morning is usually well over 6. In fact, it was 6.9 today. This was before I ate anything. I'm worried about this. Can anyone comment on this?

Stop worrying .... overnight readings are the last to come down. You have good figures otherwise and the morning numbers will follow in good time

How very true, I now have good readings in day time usually around 4.5 to 5.5 and used to have 6.5 to 7.0 first thing in morning but over the last few months it is dropping nearer to 5.0 regards to everyone.

Hi @john john I agree with @Mike D
Have you tried just a bit of protein before you turn in? Maybe a small slice of cheese/meat or a few nuts?

Thanks everyone! I will try a bit of protein at night.
