Type 2 Pre Breakfast BG

[woodenone46]

My pre Breakfast BG is nearly always around 8.2 Would the fact that I have tea or Coffee just after getting up therefore before taking test have any effect on this

Depends on if you have loads of milk in it or not.. but why not try a test before you have the drink and then after.. would seem to be a good way of finding out.

Thanks. I only ever drink black Tea & Coffee

How long are you up and moving around before you test? Many of us rise due to cortisol and adrenaline waking up. Some of us need to eat right when we get up to stop the rise

Even tea and coffee taken black can raise levels in some people.

Try testing as soon as you have got out of bed and washed your hands.
