[QUOTE="SQ71, post: 2306852, member: 528383"] Diagnosis was June. Found during routine annual blood tests. Also diagnosed with hypercholesterolemia at the same time and started on statin medication. Thanks for your suggestions. My current eating window is 10 hours. Breakfast @ 8.30 and dinner with family @ 6.30. Lunch usually around 1.30. No snacks. Protein and fat at breakfast time as fasting BS is already creeping up, and carbs raise it further. I seem to be able to tolerate carbs at lunchtime and dinner time, up to about 60g, but try to eat a lot lower than that. Is that too big a window? I've just made a possible connection and am going to experiment with it. I've been taking atorvastatin (for cholesterol) at nighttime. I chose to take it at night due to the side effect of muscle aches, but wonder if that is messing up the blood sugars at night? Today I've taken it with breakfast alongside my blood pressure meds, and will see if that makes a difference. Will give it a few days before trying to make other changes. Thanks [emoji4] [/QUOTE]
