My fasting BS has been consistently over 7 and as high as 8.8 every day for past 3-4 months.
I've read about dawn phenomenon, but not sure if that's the issue. For example here are yesterdays readings:
Fasting - 8.5
Before Brekky - 8.7
After Brekky - 7.6 (7 grams of carbs)
Before Lunch - 6.1
After lunch - 6.1 (7 grams carbs)
Before Dinner - 6.1
After dinner - 6.3 (17 grams carbs)
Before bed - 6.2
Woke at 00.30 and decided to check BS. It had jumped from 6.2 to 7.9 after 2 hours of sleep. Why this rise??? Does not seem connected to "dawn phenomenon".
This morning fasting (14 hours after last meal), it was - 7.9
Any ideas what's causing the jump up ? And how I can get this under control?
Diagnosis is pre-diabetes. No medication. Using lifestyle and dietary adjustments to manage.
Hba1c - 2 Jun 2000 = 51
Hba1c - 1 Sep 2020 = 40
Would like to get this lower but feel as long as those fasting levels remain high-ish, this is not going to be achievable.
