6.4, disappointing as my post meal (2 hr) reading last night was 4.5
I had this trouble turned out to be my morning meds ( for BP) which I take first b4 anything else , there is also a condition called liver dump . I recently went up into the 7's again for no reason I can understand . Good luck hope it sorts out (y)

I was diagnosed this February , my HBa1c was 42 ~ This is what happened at my surgery ~~ The clinician will weigh you and take yr blood pressure , mine didn't take a BG test ( Blood glucose) . I had a dietary information lecture (friendly one) and was asked about if I smoked or drank alcohol . I was also asked if I wanted to join 'Healthier you' NHS Diabetes prevention Programme ( it took 2 months for that to come through tho) .
This forum and this website will help you with a lot of questions you have ~ Hope this helped ~ Pre-Diet

I'm not on any meds, so I think it is just something that I will have to work thru in time. At the moment I'm trying various options to get the fasting down, principally reducing carb intake in the evening.

try eating more fat no carbs in evening. take a teaspoon of coconut oil and a shot glass of apple cider vinegar.
also too much protein can make the liver turn proteins into glycogen thus creating liver dump at dawn and higher bs fasting. look up ketogenic diet.

5.8 Had a around 6.3- 6-5 all Easter because I've been eating at odd times. Seems like my FBG is higher if I'm hungry when I go to bed or wake up hungry. Anyone experienced this? Maybe my liver thinks I'm starving and wants to help ;) Every time I eat heaps, low carb, and feel really full at around 7pm I've got a better FBG!!
