My husband has extreme anxiety following his diagnosis, so for the time being I am asking questions for him. Our DN is really happy with how his levels are coming down (he is on insulin for the moment due to being treated with steroids) but we are reducing with a view to coming off them. We just can't seem to get the pre-breakfast readings down below about 8. The other readings are heading in the right direction. We usually have a brew in bed first thing, with a tiny amount of semi-skimmed milk. He then tests after this and before he eats. Is it possible that his morning cuppa make any difference? I guess we should test to find out, but interested to see what others think. Thanks.
