[QUOTE="KevinPotts, post: 1127397, member: 290458"] I was diagnosed yesterday and so signed up to the site immediately, being a little overwhelmed. Could any body help me whats happening with the following: I have just woken up and my before breakfast test was: 8.7 (after 8 hours of sleep) My results yesterday were: First ever test by nurse which was +2 hours after breakfast 10.6 (breakfast was 50/50 oats and bran with skimmed milk in a normal sized bowl) - that scared me! So before dinner it was 7.1 (dinner was grilled chicken breast, loads of veg and a few new potatoes, and small bowl of raspberries nude) + 2 hours after dinner (9.15pm) sugars were 8.7 So I am sure you can guess what my question is, why wouldn't my sugar levels drop during the fast of the nights sleep? I know I am a completely newbie, but I was just shocked 15 mins ago by the absence of any drop over night. I am just about to have breakkie again, same thing slightly smaller amount, but expecting the number to be over 9 in 2 hours, which I simply have to avoid. Nurse has started me off on no medication as I am lean, do 4 hours in the gym, but have had too many carbs so diet has changed instantly. Thanks so much to you all, for what seems like a very warm, supportive and friendly community. Kevin [/QUOTE]
