Hi all,

Some mornings I wake up with a stuffy head hangover feeling even when My bg is between 6-7mmol/l. After a coffee I'm fine. I don't get this feeling if my bg is between 7-8mmol/l

Any suggestions why?
 
The liver dumps sugar in the blood early in the morning. The effect varies between people, but it's possible for instance that if your sugar is 6-7 in the morning, you were below 4 while you were asleep, whereas if you're 7-8 you were fine all night. To investigate you could set an alarm at 4am some nights, 1am other nights, or whatever, and test your sugar. If it rises a lot from the middle of the night to when you get up, this could well explain what's going on.
