hi everyone.every morning my numbers are high even if they are kinda low before bed. they read around 140 when I get up and average around 126 druring the day. is there anything I can do to keep my numbers down while im sleeping? druring the day if I go several hours without eating my numbers are always 103 or 104 so I don't get how I can sleep for 6 to 8 hours (not eating of course) and its high.

It is called the dawn effect and there isn't much you can do to control this, yes a protein snack at night will help, but not all the time. I have been dealing with this for 17 years, tho it is better and I average maybe 2-3 days over 100 and not as high as it use to be.
