[QUOTE="Glink, post: 1752403, member: 254742"] I thought I had things under control (with LC diet + metformin) and had mostly stopped testing sugars, but I've been noticing an uptick in symptoms (excessive thirst, urination, hunger) so have started up again to try to see what's happening. One thing I notice is that my sugars right when I get up (say, 6:30) are much higher than they are a couple hours later (say, 8:30), which is the time I get bloods drawn for quarterly testing. My fasting quarterly tests have been okay (remaining in prediabetes, usually low prediabetic, range) but my waking levels are higher these days. I understand that this is likely due to dawn phenomenon, which then dissipates as I get up, move around, etc. over the next few hours. But, does it matter that my waking #s are high (crossing into "diabetic" range)? Can't find much info on this, so if you know of any I'd appreciate it. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
