[QUOTE="Rocinante, post: 2308047, member: 529518"] Littlegreycat - very interesting and that's very similar to my level behaviour. Typically wake up between 4.8 & 6.2 and then rises irrespective of what I do (bear in mind I haven't tested myself with high carb early morning foods) until about lunchtime then decreases. and hovers between 5 & 6 until the evening. I too wonder if, because I'm eating so little sugar or carbs, that my body is less responsive to smallish movements in blood sugar levels. I have done the school run a couple of mornings and the walking definitely brings my BS down. I was going to test this out with a morning run, but unfortunately I've pulled a muscle and can't run at the moment. Excuse for another Libre I think. Looking at my levels, my estimated HBA1C is about 5.2 which is significantly down on the actual test and I think its because I have been somewhat relaxed about what I ate (raisins in salads etc) and because I've generally been on a low sugar / carb diet my body is less responsive, than if I had a move "balanced" diet. Ultimately I guess I think I am thinking I am prediabetic, but not very significantly so but what I still don't have a clear answer to is what is my metabolic health and how do I measure this properly.
