Type 2s: What was your fasting blood glucose in a morning? (very low chat level)

Hello thank you - I am feeling a bit down about the FBS readings as it’s consistently higher than my other readings during the day. I was diagnosed last year and got my hba1c down from 81 to 48 in six months and decided to come off metformin over the last couple of months - I’ve read about the Dawn phenomenon and maybe that’s what it is but have tried very hard to eat low carb and not eat after 8pm and BG doesn’t ever go under 9. Thinking of restricting food after 6pm hoping it will help.

A lot of people seem to find that their fasting blood sugar reading is the hardest to get down and often the last to come down. I had difficulty with it for a long time but recently it's been behaving - I usually eat by no later than 7 pm and by bedtime (usually between 11.30 and midnight) it's down to the high 5s or low 6s and in the morning is in the 5s. though I'm still taking a small amount of Levemir at bedtime.

What sort of readings are you getting after your evening meal and before you go to bed?
