Hi,

I got diagnosed with diabetes 10 months ago. My score was 52 and the dr said I should be able to get it into remission. I did a lot of reading(100’s hours). I did lots things that are recommended by various groups and got my next set of results down to 38.

I haven’t ever really tested my morning bloods at home, I tested before and after meals to see how my adjustments were working.

I was told 2 months ago my cholesterol is still high and that I need to bring it down some more, so I have been adjusting my diet again. I have added fairly big portions of oats with artificial sweeteners. I checked my blood sugars the last to mornings as wanted to check if my evening oats were causing any spikes. First thing both mornings my results were 6.1 mmol/L. However if I wait an hour or so, without eating or drinking anything (no water) they drop to 4.5.

Could this be morning phenomena? If so do I need to worry about the levels, they seem fairly low and even the spike is only just out of the recommended 5.6 mmol/L.

Would like to hear other people opinions?

Thanks for reading
 
Congrats on your success! It does seem like you’re coping with the changed diet. If you haven’t used the Libre 2 free trail yet, perhaps it’d be worth enrolling? Two weeks of continuous data should confirm your typical glucose profile through the day and whether you are a “dawn person“ ;) My trial showed me my fasting reading in the morning was indeed typically my highest reading for the day including after meals.
 
Thanks, I forgot I actually did get a free trial right after my diagnosis. I never used it, I’ll have to dig it out. Good idea
