Many of us experience 'foot on the floor' effect, basically our helpful livers dumping some extra glucose in our bloodstream to give us an energy boost to start the day with.Pretty useless if you have diabetes, and it means that many of us will rise after waking up even if we don't eat or drink anything.The second thing is breakfast. All carbs turn to glucose in the body, and both bread and porridge are hi carb foods. You could do some experimenting with leaving out the bread and having some more fish or eggs, and see if this makes a difference. You might want to have a read of this, it's written by one of our T2 members and it explains things much clearer than I can: <a href="https://josekalsbeek.blogspot.com/2019/11/the-nutritional-thingy.html" target="_blank">https://josekalsbeek.blogspot.com/2019/11/the-nutritional-thingy.html</a>With your hba1c at 51, it's very likely that your post breakfast numbers are the highest of the day. Many people can deal with carbs a bit better later in the day, it may be the same for you.Glad to hear you're on the mend again, and yes, no patterns to find when being unwell.</blockquote>
