Message: <blockquote data-quote="jjraak" data-source="post: 2673241" data-attributes="member: 493719">Hi [USER=584367]@Grumpy1954[/USER] .Just for clarity.One of the things that can help when T2D, is to try to make our fasting time a little longer While we sleep, we clearly 'Fast', hence breaking our Fast, became BreakFast So the 8 hours sleep... we fast, Many stop eating early in previous evening say. 7pm....adding 3 hours to that Fast, if bedtime & sleep is 10pm to 6am.Then some aim for 16-8 split.8 being the 8 hour window they eat in, 16 being the hours of Fasting , a split frequently noted to give the best outcomes Your post reads to me, like you got up, tested your blood sugars (these would be your Fasting Blood Glucose aka FBG levels.)Then you ate, and 2 hours later tested and got 8.4.If so, then your score is mixing up the BOOST the Dawn Phenomenon with your post meal test.A better test would be to wait upto 3 hours after waking, IF you can.Then test your BG.Eat somethingThen 2 hours after you BEGAN eating test your BG levels That would give a clearer picture of your ability to cope or not with the level of carbs at that  meal.Bear in mind, while the HBA1c does suggest you are T2D,  though at 48 at the lowest level to qualify for our T2D club, your overall symptoms might still be related to one of your other complaints or even something new.The test above is all part of what many T2D's do,  play detective & find out as much as we can about how we react to carbs AND Ways to limit & reduce any inability to process carbs that we now have.If you can manage to eat later after you wake up, that would be useful..if not simply test the later meal/s in the same way.Good luck .</blockquote>
