[QUOTE="Paul_, post: 2680810, member: 578575"] What quantity of milk do you make your tea with? If it's just a dash, it would be odd for that to cause a significant increase, but if you make it as my grandmother did where it was mostly milk, that might affect things. It's worth testing immediately before drinking your tea, [B][U]then 2 hours later[/U][/B]. I've seen [USER=517579]@KennyA[/USER] discuss coffee previously, where it causes an increase in his blood glucose levels, but at 2 hours after he's down to normal levels again. Might be the same for you. Also, definitely worth considering the dawn phenomenon effect [USER=471815]@MissMuffett[/USER] mentioned. It can cause unpredictable readings in the morning, anywhere from 4am onwards, up to when you eat usually (even a bit beyond for some people). Edit - Your profile shows you're on tablets. Do you mind if I ask which ones? Have you been taking them as prescribed? [/QUOTE]
