pre-diabetic
 

This is all new to me. I was wondering why my fasting blood sugar is high. All day I am fine. The mornings I am high.

It's called dawn phenomenon. Here's a discussion of it.

I don't know that eating carbs in the evening (one of their suggestions), but I'm curious about the vinegar suggestion.

I have at least a mild version of it and am just starting to play around to see what I can do to minimize it. Last night I kept a non-carb snack by my bed, which I ate on one of the times I woke up during the night. My BG was 112 this morning - on the low side for me. I may try the vinegar thing. It can't hurt . . .

(This is new to me personally, although I've lived with diabetic family members since the late 60s.)

Welcome to the Forum! :)

Take a look at Dawn Phenomenon.

Read through the first three threads in the Type 2 Section, when you get a chance, if you have not already done so. These threads will most-likely help you a lot. Self education is one of the keys to successful management of your diabetes, along with a healthy / sensible diet and exercise. Basically, diabetes requires a life-style change for the better. Good luck with your control and management.

Many people find that eating a handful of almonds before going to bed helps with the dawn phenomenon.

Thanks. I tried that with pecans (just because that was a nut I had on hand). That didn't help. Eating a snack in the middle of the night was closer. But I'm just starting to experiment.

I am in the exact same boat..
I have pcos.. and I been pre diabitic for years.. But just recently I purchased a monitor and watching my reading..( not good).

Doctor tells me anything over 100 for fasting is bad? true?

a lot of people tell me thats not true? just curious.

I just lost almost 30 lbs.( past 3 months) and I have about 25 more to go. . and my Sugar readings seem to be worse.. also just put on a higher blood pressure pill.. So i am wondering if that has anything to do with it..

My readings seem to be good all day too. just high in the morning. Here is the catch I almost take in NO sugar.. NO caffeine.. and still So I am not sure if there is anything i can do.. I follow a low carb diet.. 1200 calories and under 20 grams of carbs.. under 15...
Greens, Chicken, Eggs and cheese.

So My goal is to get that fasting levels down too!!

What is the vinegar thing you are doing?
