[QUOTE="ziggy_w, post: 2014516, member: 323454"] Good morning all. Off to the blood tests in a minute. Fasting levels were 4.8 today, now half an hour later 4.5. [USER=329049]@Bubbsie[/USER] and [USER=497882]@Caeseji[/USER] -- Very grateful for your support. It means a lot. [USER=329049]@Bubbsie[/USER] -- Sorry for the cold, hope you feel better soon. Take care of yourself. [USER=193228]@heavyd[/USER] -- Good to see you back. We've been missing you. [USER=464845]@Dawnmc71[/USER] -- Have you had a look at dawn phenomenon? While we are still insulin resistant, we often still have higher blood sugars when waking up. (For me, it took about half a year of low carbing till fasting levels normalized.) The reason for dawn phenomenon is that the body releases a couple of hormones (including adrenalin, epinephrin) to get us ready and going and insulin to counterbalance them.
