I have been having ridiculously high blood sugars in the mornings. I maybe as low as 80 and wake with a 240. Any ideas of why? I eat a very restricted diet due to diabetes, pancreatitis (caused by to much fat in my blood), and bad acid reflux. Trust me when I say the rule for eating is, "if it taste good spit it out!"

The way I am handling the reads now is to walk from around 8pm to 10pm. This has brought me to mornings of 100-130. Any other ideas to bring it down in the morning? Thanks.

Take a look at Dawn Phenomenon. Many people find that eating a small snack, say a handful of almonds, before bed helps.

I have heard that a high-protein snack before bed will help you're waking blood sugar level

That is true, it doesn't take much. A hand full of almonds will usually do the trick.

Read about ' Bob Red Mill Potato Starch ' . I read it improves moorning sugar readings. Just started trying it myself for the last couple days.

Yes, the bed time snack works for me. Morning wake up numbers were my only problem after I got my meds worked out and my doctor suggested it. I was amazed how well it worked. Wake up numbers for me dropped from like 145 to 110 with just this little trick

One word.....protein. I find that if I eat something with protein, it helps sustain me and my bg has been below 100.
