Probably a combination of things - a bigger liver dump/dawn phenomenon since you hadn't eaten for a while, the hot weather and the fact that you have had a few stresses and other concerns recently. It all adds up. Take heart, 7.2 isn't that bad. I last ate at 1pm and my FBG this morning was 8.0, and I have been doing this a lot longer than you.

You're doing well, don't let this get you down.

I agree with Zand, stress and liver dump will do that sometimes. Our bodies are not machines that can be easily calibrated and there are times we just have to chalk it up to 'one of those things'.

hopefully i can bring myself to eat today
just dont feel like it
stress effects me for days and i either eat everything in sight or nothing at all
things have to get better
just wish i could post the biggest stressor but i cant or should i say 'not allowed'

Yes stress affects me like that too. Just be kind to yourself at times like these.
