What time are you having your evening meal? I've found having a low carb bed time snack has helped keep blood sugars stable over night and I usually wake up with a good reading. I see you have some food intolerances but my usual bed time snack is cheese with M&s seeded crackers or some peanuts. If I wasn't pregnant I probably wouldn't be as concerned with my fasting blood sugar as it can be dawn phenomenon but I've got quite strict targets at the moment.
Thanks this is really helpful. I had read about the Dawn phenomenon. I use to eat dinner about 1930 / 2000 however I read it was better to eat earlier so I now aim for 1830. I will try a low carb snack. How long before bed do you have the snack?
I also think portion size wise my biggest meal is dinner and I don’t think that helps even when low carb. So I know I need to fuel more at times of the day when my body has the chance to use it. Just tend not to be hungry then.
I’ve also starting do a post dinner walk about 4km it helps with the stomach reaction to the pills. I wouldn’t have thought it was enough to offset my sugars though. It’s a stroll!
I am still awaiting my antibody results to confirm exact type too.
