Mine was 5.8 this morning - I am diet controlled so much prefer to be under 5.4 for my fasting figure. But I often seem to be higher nowadays. I have no idea why. I went to bed at 5.7 (which I was very happy with) and had a good day carb-wise, so doesn't make much sense to me when I end up being slighter higher in the morning, and I checked twice. Ahh well. Happy Tuesday everyone...[/QUOTE Hi! I am similar to you, and was worried at first but came across the following video link which explains it very clearly.
Basically as I see it if'n you don't get glucose from carbs once you've burned up all the stored stash your body helpfully pumps some out in the morning anyhow (aka Dawny Babe?) so that you can stagger/sprint/twerk to the tea/coffee/protein shake maker/gym or just go hunt woolly mammoths. Saves all that unpleasantness of LC food until laterThanks @ianpspurs I am not sure I totally understand what he is saying here, but I get the gist of it. The more carbs we eat, we could simply have higher insulin resistance in the am, especially if I have a long fast, which I tend to do... I think... actually I am still confused, but does that sound right?
I did wonder if you were a bit high after anaesthetic. I have had some wonderful, but strange hallucinations after surgery, and the analgesic potions after.hi all. 7.2 this morning. couldnt post as got up late for being picked up for my hand op. ended up with 15 stitches in the palm of my hand. you dont realise how much you use your hands until you cant! sorry for the lack of proper punctuation! 6.9 tonight
