[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1695100, member: 94045"] Hi and welcome, Please can you tell us which (if any) diabetes medications you are on? Also a typical days food. It is likely that 100g carbs a day is too much for your body, but that may depend on your medication. As for your fasting levels, this will be the Dawn Phenomenon when the liver dumps extra glucose to help us start the day but our own insulin doesn't work efficiently enough to bring down these raised glucose levels. It is a natural phenomenon but a normal pancreas will deal with it. These morning levels can be erratic, can be the very last to reduce, and can be caused by many things other than food, such as a disturbed night, stress, and what you do between waking up (not getting up) and testing.
