Hi all,
First time caller,. Morning reading was 8.9mmol
For the past 4 years, my reading sits between 8.1 to 10.2 in the mornings. We have tried everything to reduce the number. Carbed up, Carbed down, XR meds at night, all meds at night.. Exercise before bed. No exercise.
Nothing changes it. *shrug*
Try a nibble of cheese before bed. It does a liver dump block.
On rising have a creamy coffee or tea before getting into washing/dressing.
Only problem is for people who need to take tablets on an empty stomach on rising. (Less effective meds)
If you can eat immediately on rising it stops the liver dump from giving you raised bgs after rising.
I try to do both but not a regular regime for me due to family commitments.
I'm hoping after my holiday I will be able to cement these excellent tips.
My fbgs would be far better if I did.
This mornings my fbg was 6.3 so if I'd remembered my liver dump block it would have been far lower (e.g 4.3 or 5.3).
I have severe insulin resistance.
