[QUOTE="Neverbloobloo, post: 1195080, member: 63072"] Okay the dreaded "Dawn Thingy" cant spell phenomenon! Has anybody identified a suitable timing delay to test after waking that will negate the effect of DP? I just wondered if perhaps some brave soul had tested say - on waking, +30 minute, +60 minutes, +90 minutes etc.? I test each morning and typically get in the 6.0 to 7.0 range, however last December / January I had several weeks of results in the 5s area. I keep a daily log of what I eat and drink, I don't actually count the carbs. I compared the records with current and earlier times. My level of exercise and the typical menus are not dramatically different, I don't recall being unusually healthy or unwell over these periods. My last three HbA1c results were 47, 46 and 48, however what I did do, was reduce the quantity of carbs eaten at each meal . I did lose a stone in weight (about 6.3kg in new money) I did try the Okra thing but after a while gave it up as the ongoing improvement was negligible. So where am I now? well I haven't returned to the same low level of carbs but I certainly pay more attention now (processed foods are the sneaky ones) and my weight has gone back up a bit but I can still get in the 32 waist trousers comfortably.
