Type 2. Had a sore throat for a couple of days and noticed that readings on waking up have increased from 6 to 8+. Is this normal ?
 
Thank you ! So I woke up this morning reading was 8 (7.49am), thought I'd leave it a while before having breakfast in order for the reading to reduce. At 9.38am reading had increased to 8.7. I had breakfast (porridge with soya milk lite) took reading at 10.37am reading had increased to 11.9. Any thoughts please ?

Porridge makes your blood sugar go up?
Maybe eggs and bacon would be a more suitable breakfast?
 
White rice, potatoes, (white)bread, pasta, porridge and products containing white flour (e.g. pizza) usually increase blood sugar/glucose levels for diabetics.

For example my levels 2 hours after intake are:

200g white rice: 11-14mmol/L
200g potatoes: 10-12mmol/L
2 slices white bread: 9-11mmol/L
100g pasta: 8.5-10.5mmol/L
porridge 8.5-9.5mmol/L
