New confused diabetic

Hello @vanin11, I also would like to welcome you to Connect. I'm not diabetic but have had high fasting glucose numbers so that my primary care docs tell me I'm pre-diabetic. My response is usually that nothing has changed in 20 years...I don't have diabetes. In recent years I've changed my diet and worked on eliminating most of my sugar intake but I have my days. When I saw your question I went to my favorite research tool Google Scholar (https://scholar.google.com) and did a search for "high fasting glucose numbers in the morning" and was surprised when I selected show me the newest links by selecting 2017 at the left - the first link was

Acute Effects of Morning Light on Plasma Glucose and Triglycerides in Healthy Men and Men with Type 2 Diabetes
http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0748730417693480
The rest of the links listed for the search can be viewed here:

Hoping you find your answer!

Hello @vanin11 , Welcome to the Mayo Clinic Connect.

I am diabetic, I take 1000mg Metformin 2 times and 3mg Glimiperide (2mg in the morning and 1mg before bed). I agree with everyone else, It is a battle. I'm not a doctor but from my experience your morning numbers would make me happy and I have controlled diabetes. You say your blood glucose goes up 1 point every 45 minutes which would tell me that your liver is thinking you are ready for an active day and it is pumping out Glycogen. Mine starts about 4:00 am. May I ask how high it gets before you eat a mid day meal? Do you have any low glucose readings and what time of the day?

Wishing you well,

I don't let it get above 8.5, then I have breakfast to try and reset the numbers.
I was just out shovelling snow and it went low,like 4, I get weak and need to invest something sweet.
I want to share something I learned in the last day or so.
I was watching a British tv show on Drs and health.
Most of us like pasta but are reluctant to enjoy it because of how it rings up the Blood Sugar.If u cook the pasta and eat it cold, the blood sugar is reduced significantly but if you let it cool and then re heat it with what ever your preparing it with it further keeps the numbers down, something like 30 %..So apparently how this works is that preparing it this way moved it tru to the large bowel where it passes tru like fibre.
I tried it tonight ,cause my wife wanted spaghetti and meatballs, so I had a nice portion with meatballs and basil pesto and a sweet dessert, and 2.25 hrs., my blood sugar was 8.2
So here's a good way for people who enjoy pasta to eat without numbers going sky high.
