[QUOTE="JuliaAR, post: 1340633, member: 321813"] Hi, Just had my blood results after 3-4 months on the LCHF diet and I'm a bit confused. My HbA1c was 6.1 which translates to an average of 109 mg/dl (a bit higher actually than last time at 6.0). However my fasting glucose count was way higher at 131mg/dl. This was taken at 8.30am. The last time it was down to 110 (at 9.30am) from an original 142 (at 8.30am). I have noticed from self testing that my morning glucose readings are often the highest of the day (between 98-126). Could this be dawn phenomenon? During the rest of the day they normally stay at around 90-110 before meals and are never higher than 125 1hr-2hrs after meals. I do get really hyped up whenever I go to see medical personnel as I have had very negative medical experiences and I wondered if this had anything to do with getting high fasting readings at the blood clinic from adrenaline rushes. I have tested my monitor and it is giving accurate readings +- a few mg/dl and doing a quick average of the readings I have taken myself the Hb1Ac of 6.1 seems to tally. Does anyone have any advice on these high fasting glucose readings? Am I just white coat hypertensive/hyperglycemic or could I have dawn phenomenon? [/QUOTE]
