You want to aim for a rise of no more than 2.Morning readings can be subject to the dawn phenomena where the liver is trying to get you up and going in the morning. It can be discouraging at first as it's  the last number to come down.Look at the labels on packaging etc. Get to know all the words they use for sugar. Lactose, dextrose, glucose syrup etc.Read around the forum and ask lots of questions. Most of us have been where you are now.It may feel overwhelming,  things do fall into place. You will make mistakes. Don't  beat yourself up. Every mistake is part of your education Download the mysugr app. Record your food and readings. You have found the best place on the internet for information and  support.</blockquote>
