I have noticed the same when on CGM, my BG has two peaks, one around lunch irrespective of any food or fasting. The second peak is after dinner and obviously very carb dependent and peaks around 2hours after eating. When eating earlier, the before bed is fairly good and low however next day it starts again at a low about 3am but the same old steady uncontrollable rise until lunch. I can almost predict the readings without looking at the phone.
Unfortunately it just resets itself at night and goes through the exact same daily routine and frustratingly I don't have any control on the overall peak levels only the little foodie spikes along the way. Even exercise doesn't halt the overall rise
I am still in the experimental stage as I desperately want to ditch the metformin but I am floundering around at the moment.
Moan over, happy Friday and well done and hugs to all with their own personal struggles and successes.
Yes, absolutely @OrsonKartt. Timing matters.- I’ve been experimenting with when I eat.
Yesterday the last bit of food was at 4
Blood glucose dropped to 5.4 a couple of hours later. Then 5.9 T bedtime
This morning it’s 6.1
Seems it’s not only what you eat but when
[Timing matters.
For me food pairing seems to be more important than timing, were all different[/QUOTE]Last mouthful of food 6:30 ( 6 oz steak )
This morning’s dark reading 6:30 - 6.4
6.6 this morning. A bit of a rise but then went out with friends last night after fasting all day (26 hours) then having a few drinks and a late-ish chinese meal.
9.1 before bed at midnight, It was one of those "what the hell" moments as can't eat like a hermit or rabbit all my life, thankfully this mornings reading none too bad but will expect a sharp rise this morning. Already at 7.8 now with no food.
No regrets as it was a one off and a welcome treat, have a good weekend and for all those UK folks make the most of the extra hours sleep.
Agree with the sentiment @timbo_dolman. Unfortunately, it takes me more than 12 hours!Even my GP told me , a naughty day is no problem. The trick is getting back on controlling it straight afterwards. Give it another 12, hours you’ll be back to normal readings
