[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 571484, member: 94045"] Heather, there is a thread called What was your fasting glucose in a morning. [url]http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/type-2s-what-was-your-fasting-blood-glucose-in-a-morning.23574/page-171#post-571473[/url] If you join in that you may pick up some tips. The Dawn Phenomenon also comes into play with morning fasting. This is when our livers dump glucose in our system to help us start the day before we eat something. This is a natural event that happens to everyone to some degree or another. There is a thread about it called Pesky Dawn Phenomenon [url]http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/pesky-dawn-phenomenon.57672/page-12#post-571370[/url] Have a read and see what others are doing to help with this. My own fasting levels were in the low sixes for ages, then suddenly dropped to the 5's and have stayed there. I put this down to having lost a certain percentage of my body weight at the time, and also to coming off statins. [/QUOTE]
