I'm still new to all this,why would my readings be high when I wake up ie 8.0 but after 2 hours after I had breakfast ( 2 weatabix and tea) it reads 5.4?
 
hormones...........!!

basically the dawn phenomenon.........

shortly before you wake a process starts that releases hormones to give you energy to get up after long periods of fasting, and specific to this situation it will be hormones that increases insulin resistance.......giving you higher readings when you wake........
 
Cheers so when is the best time to get a true BS reading?
