why are some of us not happy with morning readings ?

[neithskye]

I have noticed the lower the morning readings the happier we seem to be, I thought anything under 7.8 is normal .

I wonder if mine will ever be as low as some of you on here in the 4's and whether this is better than what i have which is occasionally in the high 5's. I feel I am failing somehow .

I was thinking the same thing!

Sometimes when I get like a 6.7 I think the world is ending. Does it matter where in the normal range the reading is or as long as it's within the normal range it's fine?

The only time I really get upset is when a get a high reading and there's no reason for it (didn't eat carbs, not ill, etc.).

Below 7.8 2hrs post prandial is normal. Fasting, ie these morning readings being discussed you’d want it below 5.5 to be classed as normal (well in diabetic terms normal )
