Diabetes Type 2 Support Group

Type 2 Diabetes is a condition in which the body either does not produce enough insulin or does not make efficient use of it. Insulin is a hormone needed to convert food into glucose, a sugar that the body uses for energy. Without enough insulin, glucose can accumulate in the blood, and can cause serious health problems such as heart disease and strokes and organ damage...

Frustrating

My morning fasting sugar runs between 111 to 135 , my after meals BS is always between 111 to 129 .i take that in the evening .my frustration is that somehow i am not able to control the fasting sugar .

i am not sure how important it is to be fasting at below 100 but i am getting upset .

i do happen to eat dinner late at 10 sometimes due to my work situation .

thanks

If you are having the dawn phenomenon there is not much can be done. over 1/2 of type 2 have this. try doing a snack of protein at night, that can help. I wouldn't let this rent your mind for free, just makes you frustrated and stressed which of course can affect your numbers.

If they are not going higher and higher in the mornings I would not be too concerned, unless of course you notice getting higher and higher then talk with your doctor.

Even after almost 18 years I still have mornings over 100

I agree with Miss Gayle, a little extra protein at night might work. Try it for a day or two and see.
