[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1788928, member: 94045"] Hello and welcome aboard, and congratulations on your baby. :) If I were you I wouldn't worry at all about your morning fasting levels. They are notoriously unpredictable and difficult (if not impossible) to control. I would simply concentrate on your before and after meal levels, record them in a detailed food diary that includes portion sizes, and try to keep any rise down to under 2mmol/l from before to the 2 hour mark (preferably less than 2mmol/l) Use these results to tweak your meal choices and the rest will follow. Sleepless nights, anxiety, rushing about before the test, stress and hormones will all affect your morning levels, and worrying about them will make matters worse. Perhaps stop these tests for a few weeks, and by then you may see a difference? I think that is what I would do. It is never too late to start helping yourself to achieve control, and you have done the right thing in finding this forum and asking questions. Tagging [USER=25759]@daisy1[/USER] for her informative post for newcomers. [/QUOTE]
