[QUOTE="Fallenstar, post: 226118, member: 36659"] There are so many variables as to why an individuals results are slightly higher/lower, even on a personnel level and speaking from experience, that we are not privy to .So it is hard to say really. It could have been the cake, but there are so many reasons during the night that we may have a reading that is out of line when we wake. Dawn Phenomena , which is a boost of Cortisol released by the Adrenal glands at about 4/5 AM to get us up and ready for the day. Sometimes there will be variations in these levels which will effect BG results all independent of what we have eaten the night before. Maybe we have had a more active /restless nights sleep, nightmares ,dreams all these things effect hormone levels which effect BG during the night by a few units....all out of our control. The liver releases Glucose also ,sometimes more,sometimes less,it depends what we have done the day before, this will raise BG even if we starve our selves of food. If you have exercised hard during the previous day you may get a drop during the early hours of the morning as your muscles replenish their selves with Glucose. All variables. Let alone night time Hypo's :shock: but after these you will probably be very high, well up into top double figures. I don't consider 10 too bad, some will, but that is just me. It would not alarm me as a "few" one off's ,even higher. They happen I'm afraid, that is the nature of the beast and sometimes it is nigh impossible to pin point what it is. If it carries on rising and stay's at 10 then you will need to test,adjust accordingly with the help of your team...and some good people on here. I'm not the best at advising adjustments for other people. The DAFNE will really help you and as Cheryl has said chase the care you deserve and are entitled to , it is all new to you just yet but you will get there so don't worry :D Let us know how you go on, and welcome! :D [/QUOTE]
