    Hi and welcome. Yes, DP can affect T2s. Usual advice is to have a snack before bed, to fool the liver into thinking it's not starving overnight.

    Its also a good idea to make sure your FBG is done as soon as you wake up as even getting up and fluffing about for 5-10 minutes before testing can affect BS.
