That is on the high side but certainly not in orbit. The question is what are you eating ? I will tag @daisy1 for you and she will send you an information packet for newcomers. It is well worth the read and will answer a lot of your questions. Feel free to ask questions on the forum and someone will come along and answer. Great folks here

Many thanks I wasn't given any info so feel out of control.

@Maggiesav - I have already put this information on your other thread - I hope it was useful.

Yes that is just fine, 5 is a very good number.I am highest first thing in the morning and come down after breakfast. It is a common pattern. The best thing you can do is follow the dietary advice in the post that daisy sent you and eventually that morning fasting number will start to come down. It all takes time.

We all start with very little support from the medical profession! Ask away on the Forum and have a good look around. It was and still is my only real source of info and support! X
