diabetes help
Dec. 17th, 2009 02:12 pmI usually do my blood glucose monitor around 7:30am, just before I eat -- by which time I've fasted for over 8 hours. Lately my readings are always around 7-point-something or 8-point-something.
This mornin I woke up kinda early and decided to do my monitor at 6am. As it turns out, this represents a 6-hour fast. The reading was 5.7, way better than I've gotten for a long time. But this sudden super-improvement got me curious, so at 7am I took another reading. 7.8!
Now, during that hour I didn't eat a thing, I didn't even drink water. I just checked my email and did some research online. So: no food intake, no strenuous exertion, nothing that should've affected my blood glucose one way or the other. So what the eff made my level climb up over +2 in that hour?!?!
As it happened I was in to see my doctor this mornin and I told her about it. She seemed baffled, same as me. Anyone out there have any idea what's going on here?
