Last night before bed , my glucose reading was 5.4 ,,,,,,,,, I had a terrible nights sleep,,,tossing and turning most of the night and worrying about something that had happened during the day. When I finally got up, my glucose reading was 7.4 !! ,,,this freaked me out !i haven't had any readings in the 7's since I started testing, let alone when I first get out of bed. My readings throughout the days have all been between 5-6.4 ,,,, was it the lack do sleep that caused this mornings reading? Something else? Thanks for any input !
 
Not in the least unusual. Lack of sleep doesn't help, the liver won't know whether it's coming or going! And the liver does tend to produce glucose just before you wake up in preparation for activity ahead. Have a search on here for 'Dawn Phenomenon'.
 
Thanks Sanguine I will read up on it. ,,,Thx for the info !
