Hi all, I am very new to this and already managed to lose 12Ibs so my reading has gone from 51 to 45. I bought a glucose meter to spur myself onto losing weight. All my readings are within a "normal" range except my waking one which is usually between 6.1 and 6.4 (I am guessing pre diabetic). What am I doing wrong, or is this just a normal reading for a pre diabetic person? I have only been diagnosed for 2 months and not discussed it properly with the doctor or nurse yet...... in fact I don't really understand all this at all, so help in understanding greatly appreciated.
 
Morning Carajay if you look on the forum you will see so much of what is known as the dawn phenomenon , it is just the bodies natural and healthy response to getting you up and ready in the morning , your liver dumps a shot of glucose into your system to get ready and happens to everybody diabetic or not so don't worry yourself about it .
