Type 2 Not panicking

Quick question

I had home made burgers and 3 aubergine slices last night at 8.45om. Lashes of fat and cheese etc. Ate quite a lot for me. Wasn’t an overly carbs meal. Still under 5.

But this morning I’ve woken up and tested at 5.30ish at 8.0 which is higher than after the blooming meal.

1) is it normal for sugars to be higher way after the meal when they were a reasonable 7 something

2) don’t think it’s DP because I have only laid in bed

3) I know I have to give time to adjust after coming off meds but I don’t like the 8.

I wouldn’t normally eat that much anymore or that late so wondering if it’s that.

If you ate a lot more then you normally would, that could explain it.

It wasn’t a huge amount, 2 burgers and 3 aubergine slices but that’s more than a small tin if corned beef and leaves

DP occurs before getting up. It is the body predicting the glucose you will need to get moving. It, typically, happens the same time each day.
Foot on the floor is the glucose release upon getting up. This is the body reacting to your movement and releasing glucose. The timing depends when you get up.

Not that I am questioning your assumption regarding DP being the cause of today's rise.
Bear in mind there are many things which can impact our bg. Did you sleep badly? Are you worried about the day ahead? Are you going down with a bug ? Did you exercise less than usual, yesterday?...

Slept better than all week but I didn’t exercise yesterday.
It’s also coming up to time of the month.
