    Carry on your doing great! It does take a while for the fbg to come down. I'm almost 3 months into my journey and still get a higher fbg. I always like to see a 5 :) only ever seen a 4 once

    13.9 and a headbanging phone call of the duty pharmacist from the Dr because I asked for more lancets, "I should only be testing when driving on gliclazide" I pointed out my diabetic nurse wants me to test morning, night and driving. God it seems like nobody has a clue what to do.

    It sounds like you are suffering from Dawn Phenomenon or Liver Dump. Here’s some info about it:
    https://www.diabetes.co.uk/blood-glucose/dawn-phenomenon.html
    It may sound contradictory but eating a low carb breakfast shortly after waking up may help, as your liver is no longer panicking that you are starving. Even after nearly two years from diagnosis I get a degree of DP if I skip breakfast.

    5.9 again this morning

    fasting BG is ALWAYS my lowest of the day......gradually rises as the day goes on which probably means I'm having just a touch too many carbs......had no lunch yesterday and the 2 readings either side had less of an increase than normal so that makes sense......going to try no breakfast this morning(but will have lunch) to see if those 2 readings behave the same.

    6.0 at 4:15 am, something in the beef curry for dinner last night might be cause of this one.

    Been high the past few weeks so I've not been posting. Was 10.4 fasting today and 14.8 after dinner. But before dinner yesterday I was 5.0 so it does come down at times.

    Have let too much bread and rice creep back in. Need to tweak my diet.

    Hope everyone's ok.

    Least you have an idea what the culprit is. Hope you manage to get your levels down soon
