morning blood sugar post breakfast

[wizzy146]

my post 2hour blood sugars have been running consistently over 10 for a while. I eat no more than 20 to 25 gr of carbs at this meal. I take 2 medformin with breakfast. Most other readings after meals are well within normal limits and my most recent A1C was a mere 6.3  Any suggestions?

Good Morning, I have the same problem Whem I get up I check my weight and BG BEFORE anything in the morning. I go to my computer enter all my stats and calculate my carbs for my breakfast. I adjust my Novalog fro the 1:4 ratio and take it about 20 minutes befor my meal and WOW sometimes it's so out of wack even I am stunned. Endo said take the Novalog about 1 hr before the meal it might help since I am really insulin resistant tracking that now, good luck with yours see what your endo thinks, Rich

I am not referring to fasting blood sugars but rather readings taken 2 hours after a meal when I am told my level should not exceed 10 (Canadian measurements) Mine are often 13 to 15. Other than cereal and milk that is breakfast. The rest of my measurements throughout the day are within normal limits. wizzy146

Hmm, sorry but I guess I do not understand. Your post says that the discussion is related to "fasting blood sugar levels high in the morning" but all of your information relates to testing blood after meals.  Guess that for me it cannot be both.  My Diabetes Nurse's instructions for morning fasting blood test are to test the blood "when you awake, before eating or any medication".

Also, though you list the level of carb for the morning meal, you do not indicate what else you are having.  Without more any information do not see how anyone can suggest anything.  Perhaps other Forum members have better information than I.
