Hello
@Gazzap2 , and welcome. [
You're posting this in the Type 1 section, so you might want to ask a mod to move this to the right area so you get more answers that apply to your situation.] Mod edit
The medication that was reduced/nixed, did several things... It made your liver dump out less glucose, made you a tad bit more sensitive to your own insulin, and made your pancreas pump out more insulin. All of that is practically gone now, rather than just picking one and reducing that, everything went away in one go...! Which I find odd, frankly, but I'm not your nurse, no idea what she was thinking and what her reasoning was. So if you didn't change anything else, then yes.... I'd not be entirely surprised at the rise in levels.
All those things were keeping you in range, now they're not there anymore. So... What do you want to do? Cut carbs and give your pancreas less to process, which is a very viable option. Or go back to medication? Or see where this goes? What do you feel comfortable with?
https://josekalsbeek.blogspot.com/2019/11/the-nutritional-thingy.html could help some with the first option. Do keep in mind that blood glucose in the morning is influenced by Dawn Phenomenon and is the last number to come back down again, so the better gauge is what happens before and after you've eaten. (It's all in the link).
If you have any questions, throw them out there! We're here if you need us. You will be okay though, really. Don't panic.
