In the past, I've awaken at 7am, checked my FBG immediately, then without eating anything, checked it 2 and 3 hours later and noticed a rise of about 20 points.
In my observation of the dawn phenomena, I think it has a lot to do with what we ate the night before and the length of time since that last eaten meal. I think it happens more when we are not consistent in our meal time, our time to take medicines, vitamins, etc..., and when we are not active enough and are still carrying around too much body weight...
As of the last month of being here in China, my BG is a lot more consistent. From my evening meal till my 1st meal of the next day, be it early or late, my numbers don't fluctuate by more then about 5 points.... I'm very thankful for that...
Any FBG reading is real... REAL for that moment! What is real and normal is our BG levels will always have some fluctuation, no matter how good our control gets...
