Welcome @archer8119. I am new to this forum and relatively new to diabetes 2. (I'm one month into my second year.) There are some wonderful people on this forum and some really good information. I posted about my high morning numbers and then a significant drop after lunch. So far, I have found no solution. I am in the 120's or 130's in the morning. After lunch, I am high 90's or low 100's. Yesterday I was 129 in the A.M. and 93 after lunch. I had my last endocrinologist appointment on June 5th, and all numbers were within the ranges set for a fasting blood profile, which I had the week before. My A1c is 6.0.
I do not take any meds for my diabetes but control with diet and exercise. I talked with my endo about the higher numbers in the morning, but he seems more interested in my A1c and that the numbers come down after lunch. He says that as long as the numbers drop, he is not concerned. He didn't have an answer for why it happens. I wish I could find and answer, but so far I haven't. From researching on line I do know that what and when I eat at night determines the number I get in the morning. I try to eat by 6:00. I do exercise by walking on the tread mill. That gives me more energy and helps my A1c. I agree with others who have been dealing with diabetes much longer than I have. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason for my morning numbers. My endo told me to stop worrying about that number as long as it drops. So I try not to fixate on it. I take my blood before breakfast; three hours after lunch daily and keep a daily food log. I am 73 years old. Maybe someone with more experience can help, but so far it seems that we are all unique with this disease. If I ever find an answer, I'll share it.
