Levels?

I dont have an answer for you but my morning test has been around 8.5 the last week or so (newly diagnosed, so much higher before that). My premeal tests at night has been as low as 6.1-6.5. Im on 4xMetformin/day and I eat pretty strict LCHF. Someone recommended to drink a glass of farina (potato starch) mixed with water, 2 tbs/glass, before you go to bed. I started out with 1 glass of 1 tbs farina+water last night and this morning my test was 7.0. Im going to try this out some more, in the hope to get my morning test even lower.

Don't quote me, but I suspect you were going low through the night and your liver was dumping, giving you the higher reading. Having the carbs before bed stops you going low whilst asleep and you wake up with a lower reading...

I may be wrong as I've just noticed you are type 2 not one, but it still seems reasonable to me...

What I've been told is that I probably have what they call the dawn effect or something like that. Google it, maybe you have the same issue. Some farina (ie restistant starch) in your stomac can get your BG down in the morning. I thought it was worth a try..

I've read somewhere at some point having a little snack before bed can help keep your levels from going too low while you sleep. Thus preventing liver dump resulting in more stable & lower morning readings :-B
