[QUOTE="HN2020, post: 2339517, member: 534348"] Often higher readings for me in morning too, best levels seem to be 4-6 hours lost eating. I was plus 7 round three months ago also (had readings round 9-11 at worst I measured - could have been worse as was neglecting it and not measuring). I’ve been Keeping to a low GI diet for last three months. No rice (unless maybe whole grain or one of the healthy grain alternatives, cauliflower rice is actually goodtoo) no pasta, small amount of potato (sweet potato is slightly better than normal). Lowest carb bread I can find (using a multi seed spelt mix at moment around 37g/100g to which I add nuts and seeds). No sugary anything basically. No processed foods, no breakfast cereals, juices, soups; certainly no refined products like white flour based or “low fat” stuff (all this a lot easier with COVID and working from home). If I am buying sauces, lazy food or whatever I check the carbs and sugars. Levels in morning now down round 4-5. And keeping steady even if break out. Had a Thai takeout with fried potatoes other night and next morning 5.3 which is acceptable I think. Once I got the levels steady I find the occasional bad choice doesn’t hurt too much. Good luck!
