I am a recently diagnosed Type2 (end of Feb 2014).
I have lost almost 1.5 stone since I found out. I am currently taking 2 metformin a day (also 2.5 Ramipril and 40 statin) but my goal is to come off the medication and control my bloods via diet alone.
I'm currently following the GI way of eating.
My DN recently gave me a glucose monitor and I have found it so helpful. I have however, been having unexpectedly high readings in the mornings which I wasn't expecting.
For example, the night before last my blood sugar was 5.6 at 10.30pm before I went to bed. My DN said I should be aiming for about 8 before I go to bed, so I had an apple and went to bed. In the morning my blood sugar was 7.6!!?
Last night I tested before bed and my blood sugar was 6.1, so with the night before in mind I decided not to eat anything. I measured my blood before breakfast this morning and it was 7.1!!??
Im at a loss as to what is going on, if anyone has any advice Id be very grateful!
