GD morning control?

Question

Hi everyone, I am having such an issue controlling my Test in the morning before breakfast. My test at night 2 hrs after dinner is under controlled and so is my lunch, under 120 but morning comes it still between 100-105. What am I doing wrong? No, I did not have any snack or anything after dinner. Only lots of water with 2 slice of lemon. 
My dinner had no more than half of my palm of carb. Breakfast is half slice of bread with 1/4 avocado 2 eggs and half bag of veggies sauce and my lunch has no carb. 
Any suggestion or advice would greatly appreciated. Just started my gd kits on Friday. I am 29w6d today.

Answer

You need a snack before bed time.
When pancreas feels that the body is fasting for a longer time, it tells the liver to release stored glucose into the blood which causes the spike in your blood sugar.
I did an experiment and walked fasting after waking up and tested before and after and my fasting blood sugar increased after the walk because i am using my reserved glucose. 
Trust me, have a snack before bed, mixture of protein and carb. I try to keep the carb below 15 g on my snacks.

Answer

I just started with a GD diet. Two mornings ago my fasting was 105. This morning it was 90. Only difference is last night for a snack, I ate ham and cheese roll ups and a banana. Maybe the protein helped?

Answer

I had to get up in the middle of the night and snack on something high in protein.

Answer

No matter what I did, my fasting number won’t come down. I have to take medication at night now 🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

You shouldn't be skipping night time snack.  Have a snack with fiber and protein at night.  Also if you're testing high after dinner you need to take a look at the carb load in it and readjust, some foods that are supposed to be "good" can still make you spike so keeping a meal journal is important. Also a walk or some exercise after dinner helps.
