[QUOTE="Guzzler, post: 2081050, member: 408573"] Hello and welcome. Perhaps you would like to use the search function on the main page to look up 'Dawn Phenomena'. This is basically what happens to people at or around the time of waking, the liver will splurge out glucose to give us the energy we need to get up and chase down a mammoth for brekky. A fasting reading of 5.5 is fine imo. If you are concerned then it is right that you see your GP but what would help a little more is to test before the first bite of a meal (pre prandial reading) and then test again two hours after your first bite (post prandial reading). The difference between those two readings should be no more than 2mmol but preferably a lot less than that. Keeping a food diary alongside your pre and post readings will show you and your doctor how you are reacting to the foods that you eat. Good Luck. [/QUOTE]
