I am 63 year old diabetic person and obeys diabetic requirements i.e food & medicines. Normally I wake up at 6 am. I have noticed that if I check my sugar at around 6.30 am it comes in the range 104-117. However, without eating anything when I again checks it after 1 hour i.e at about 7.30 am in goes up in the range of 145-161 and by 8.30 it increases upto 175-191. Why it happens. Which reading I should take as actual?

Ans: Stress increases blood sugar in the morning hours due to stress hormones.
Check how is your sleep and manage your stress
