5.9 but that’s before 6am so plenty of time for dp to kick in with a vengeance.
@dawny1958 have you tried antihistamines? I get a similar rash early every spring/ summer it’s caused by the sun in my case but sun cream/ wearing long sleeves and Claritin help.

Morning all. Libre gave a 4.5 @ 6.05 (woke @ 5.30 when it showed 4.8 for some reason). Part of the lower readings is going from around 70k steps weekly first week of May to 170k last week with 2 weeks of 140k in between. Libre gives me a great guide as to when and how much to walk.

6.4. I usually come in low 5s, but I did have a naught ice cream at about 10pm, 45 minutes before bed so I guess this has made it leap up.

Ouch, @dawny1958 ! I have something similar. I've thought it was something biting me but now I'm not sure.
