Message: <blockquote data-quote="Bluetit1802" data-source="post: 1400426" data-attributes="member: 94045">As I said earlier, your HbA1c increase of just 1 point can be disregarded. If it is, for example 40.4 it will be rounded down. If it is 40.5 it will be rounded up. Then there is the error rate tolerance (somewhere around 4% I believe) On that issue you are worried about nothing.Your 6.7 in the mornings has to be dawn phenomenon, which you said earlier you understand about. Your liver is supplying the glucose, and that glucose could be emanating from excess protein. Other factors cause it, such adrenalin and cortisone due to stress, restless nights, disturbed sleep, sleeping too long, sleeping too little. It's a mystery.I have never had overnight DP. I wake the same as I go to bed, although I drop quite a lot when I'm asleep (My Libre sensor tells me this) My DP starts about 10 minutes after I get out of bed and before I do anything other than visit the bathroom, test, and go downstairs to put the kettle on. It used to continue to rise slowly until lunch time, making my pre-lunch test higher than my fasting and thus impacting on my post lunch readings. (again, my Libre sensor told me this). I experimented and discovered a coffee with lots of cream within 10 minutes of getting out of bed stopped this in its tracks, and I have nothing else apart from water and a mid morning cup of tea.. I now see pre-lunch readings lower than my fasting. I don't exercise other than dog walks and general household stuff. My HbA1c is the same as yours.</blockquote>
