5am wake-up

[lizabetic]

I've woke up 2 days in a row at 5am, this morning I decided to check my BS ... it was 10.2. Seems odd really, I didn't have a large dinner! I did notice yesterday my BS were a little high than they ought to have been, i'm currently on antibiotics could that be why?

And, is this normal? It sort of seems if I eat a high carb brekkie my BS is that little bit higher all day as opposed to having eggs or something. Do you think this is because my liver (?) is storing the glucose for later use and it stops me from getting low all day?

I imagine that whatever you are taking the anti biotics for is elevating your levels Liz - hopefully you will see them fall back into range again when you have finished the course 🙂

Also, I would have thought that, since you are not on meds, you have a threshhold for the amount of carbs your pancreas can cope with - have too many in one meal and your levels are pushed up a bit too high.

I think it might be the antibiotics, they were meant to be clearing up my chest infection. I've only got one more to take now though, surely it would be gone by now?

Tonights levels 13.4 bit sucky but then if it was around the same yesteday why would it be 10 at 5 in the morning, puzzles me.

Just hope they sort themselves out as I go on holiday next week!
