You seem to be eating a large amount of starches (carbohydrates) at your meals. Suggest eating more protein foods, such as yogurt, eggs, cheese, and milk with your meals to help you gain weight and lower your glucose levels. Suggest eating a light snack of protein food with starch just before bed and see if your morning levels go down. If not, stop the snack and speak with your Doctor. Thank you for your question.
