I know I’ve only just got going on taking my diet more seriously. I’ve started cutting carbs over the week but my FBG in a morning varies around 10 -12. I know it needs to be lower. Does having a beer before bed cause this or will it just take time to start dropping lower. Thanks

Carbs before bed probably not a great idea. Every now and then is ok but not every night.
