Im not an expert about T2s, but my t2 grandma tends to go high when she doesnt eat for long... But when I get unexpected highs I always go wash my hands and retest. Hope ur okay. X

Poor grammar, bullying and drunks.
This is possibly due to liver dump. The liver receives messages that blood glucose levels are falling because you havn't eaten for a long time (just as when we have been asleep) and dumps glucose from its reserves into the bloodstream to use as fuel.

Which is a good thing as it helps to clear out the excess glucose held in the liver..

Aye, it's a bit like the housekeeping, darn thing needs to be tidied up every day.
