9.4 at 6.15am.Never had that high a figure before.I could understand it if I had been pigging out.Pre b/f at 9.45..10.1.2 hrs after b/f 6.7. Dawn thingy? Why now.Answers on a postcard please. Seeing higher numbers really gets me down.

Maybe you have an underlying infection somewhere ?

Talk of underlying infections not sure what is going on with my FBG even higher this morning with 12.3 . Lately I have been waking up feeling as rough as ten bears but better once up and about !

7.4 this morning. Cannot complain as could be worse owing to weakening a bit last night and giving in to 4 or 5 segments of Terry's chocolate orange as well as a few drinks and cocktails whilst visiting friends for a late dinner. Well and truly fell off the wagon from a great height but sometimes have to live life. Work to be done to put right the wrongs.

At 6.45 today the reading was 7.1
BUT when i went to bed it was 16.1 . In recent times the high bedtime reading has dropped 8 points overnight .At 4.30 I woke to ringing in my ears a warning sign sometimes. I did a fingerprick test- 6.1. A drop of 10 points in 6 hours. Fearful of a furrther drop in the next 21/2 hours ( 3 points in 2 hours) I ate a tiny piece of jelly baby. Waking to 7.1.
It is not uncommon to have high readings at 10pm eg 13, and 14, Its also common for this to drop 6-8 points over night, Im going to have to bite the bullet and ask the GP Practice for help on the meds and insulin. Something isnt right . Advice and help is something thaat has been lacking in the past 4 years.

I do have a rash which is itchy.pharmacist reccomended hydrocortisone cream and strong antihistamines so I am using them.

Morning All so 8.1 today. Its so obvious from everyone’s posts how different we all are in how we react to food, illness, poor sleep etc. @Bobby105 I did wonder if your evening meal was a bit carby causing the bedtime highs. @RosemaryJackson brave move but I’m not giving up my lunchtime strawberries just yet will reduce the amount! Get well everyone, stay well everyone else.

Ah maybe that accounts for the rise so hopefully when it clears up your numbers will improve

Morning all, 4 83 mmol/L at 5AM this morning. Yesterday was an awesome sunny day. I was active all day, drank lots of water, which helped lower my fbg. Have a nice day everyone.
