So I know about the liver dump but how high can it go?

Usually when I go to bed I take testing kit upstairs with me and it’s there to test in morning, either before I get out of bed or once I’ve been to loo.

Last night I forgot and by time I remembered I was in bed and couldn’t be bothered to go down and get it.

Got up this morning without testing and went to bathroom, then put rubbish out and recycling. Started breakfast then tested and I was a 9.1.

I haven’t been a 9 for months and months in the morning even if I do forget to test very first thing and do stuff before. This seems quite high for me.

So is this too high for liver dump in the morning?
 
What are you normally in the morning?
Did you wash and dry your hands immediately before testing?
Did you do a re-test after seeing the 9?

I’m normally in the 6s sometimes 7. If it’s slightly later sometimes 8.

Yes I’d washed hands because I’d cut up bacon.

No retest. Didn’t think if that. Doh!
 
Before my pump made it so I can easily take more insulin in the early morning hours, I used to go higher than that sometimes!
There is also feet on the floor which means it increases once you get out of bed. And you can have both.

The 'started breakfast' could have done it.

As in I’d put it in frying pan I hadn’t eaten it drank anything.

Not a lot you can do about it now. Record it and move on is all you can do.

True.

All us normal again now although I’m not feeling amazing,

One of those feel like I’m coming down with something (shattered, headache and just overall knackered etc and drained) but don’t think I am getting something.

Just one of those days.
 
I think when our immune system is successfully fighting off a bug, ie we don’t actually get sick, it still has an effect on bgl the same as when we do fall ill. I mean the work is still being done just with a better outcome.

I think in this instance it’s more like my body/brain is trying to trick me into eating something I shouldn’t (sweet).

Really feels like if I ate something with some sugar in it I’d feel better!! Which obviously I won’t!
 
I can wake with a 5.5 - if I don't eat within 30 minutes of getting out of bed I can rise and rise until I do eat - have seen it in the high 8s if I don't eat until lunch - which I hate and get annoyed about because any other time of day I don't go past mid 6s - so now I always eat something when I first get up even if I'm not hungry - a boiled egg with a bit of cheese or a two egg omelette or a couple slices of bacon. As long as it's a bit of protein with a good measure of fats and no/minimal carbs it stops the rise dead in its tracks
