Try eliminating all added sugars in food and drink.
Slowly cut net carbs. Carbs increase blood glucose levels almost as fast as sugars.

Fats do not make you fat. More carbs than you need for that days energy are turned to fat.

Carbs raise your blood glucose levels.
Gentle Exercise like walking can help.
Sleeping 7-8 hours nightly can help.
Proper hydration can help. It is fenerally accepted that sipping 1/2 to 3/4 oz water for every pound of body weight daily provides good hydration.

There is a morning wake-up phenomenon. Your liver will begin releasing stored glucose into your system to aid in the wake-up activities. It will not shut off the glucose taps till you eat some carbs. Usually it is about 15 carbs. This will stop the wake-up blood glucose spike.

Someone not diabetic will automatically release enough glucose to compensate for this morning stored glucose release. We are not so blessed.

Our systems are damaged, so we must do what's necessary. I eat to my blood glucose meter and control my numbers to 4.0(72) to 7.8(140). This gives me my best diabetes life.

I limit my carbs to what my meter tells me at my 2 hour numbers.

Most diagnosed with diabetes can handle 100-130 net carbs daily. Personally I can handle a little less. My meter tells me my limit is 5 net carbs per meal. So I maximize my carbs to 5 per meal.

I do what I need to do.
You do what you need to do, for your best diabetes journey.

Good luck.
Praying for you two.

Hi @A DiabetesTeam Member.
Is that a skewed reading or a real reading.

1st wash and thoroughly dry your hands. Salt, sugars, juice will make the reading extremely high.

2nd make sure the drop of blood is large enough to fill the test strip area. If it does not, the reading will be extremely high.

Low battery will skew readings high.
