[QUOTE="AdamJames, post: 1642769, member: 459333"] My own view on that would be that it's very hard to say, as some people always find that their morning bg is their highest reading, and the suspected reason for that is that their liver has been releasing glucose overnight (or towards the morning, so-called dawn phenomenon). But for a normal, non-diabetic person, who *doesn't* experience "dawn phenomenon", 5.7 is a tiny bit high compared with results from this study: [URL]https://www.diabetes-symposium.org/index.php?menu=view&id=322#chart=17[/URL] If getting to the bottom of what's happening proves to be a nightmare, and you suspect it has something to do with blood sugar, then it might be worth taking matters into your own hands, getting hold of a meter and regularly taking his readings last thing at night, first thing in the morning, even halfway through sleeping, and before then 1 and 2 hours after every meal. I had an issue that 3 doctors couldn't work out for 3 months, finally after lots of personal research I realised I could be diabetic, so got a meter, did various tests, showed the results to the GP, I was sent for a formal HbA1c test and it was confirmed I was diabetic.
