Going by the above I thought okay it’s 8.2 this morning first thing . So why did it stop to 5 shoot up again and then drop again . It might even drop again after good of raise . It’s all over the place

And 8.2 two hours after breakfast again. Does my body dump sugar in my blood stream before I eat? I don’t get this at all. I can eat same breakfast same foods at the same time and different days give different readings. I’ve exercised not exercised and that don’t seem to have the usual effect either. I just need this lower and predictable so I can feel in the driving seat. Or is that diabetes you don’t know what to expect ? Moderators if I am using here too much to get rid of my anxieties tell me. I hope it’s okay.

Some people get a dump of glucose in the early hours (dawn phenomenon), while others only get the glucose dump after they get out of bed

I don’t get this at all. I can eat same breakfast same foods at the same time and different days give different readings.

Ah! That ole chestnut. Yup. Pretty much par for the course I’m afraid. It’s a big complicated machine and we only have access to a fraction of the dials and levers.

Sorry to hear your frustrations. Perfectly natural, and understandable. Diabetes can be unruly, fickle and pig headed, but it CAN be tamed at least some of the time for mist people. you can’t expect it to behave completely consistently all the time, but keep chipping away at it - you are still early in your diabetes experience, and you will get there. 🙂

Thanks yes I got a link on the Test Test test site from another one of your answers. I have glanced might read more of that. Hubby was looking into it for me and yes it is still early days.
