Hkc gives wonderful advice, fallow his advice as he is in clinical remission. Your numbers are not high enough to be spilling any ketones, but if you are not feeling well, please advise your Dr.🌹

Do you know what caused your high morning number. Usually it is too high a 2 hour number after dinner. Sometimes it is too many carbs after dinner.

Slowly cutting your net carbs can help. Over time halving your carbs can have significant effect.

The 1st thing I do after I see my morning fasting blood glucose number is prepare my breakfast and eat.

When you are waking up, your liver dumps stored glucose, glucogen, into your bloodstream to provide energy to aid in wake-up activities. The only way to close the glucogen taps is to eat.

For me I start with proper hydration. Exercise lowers my numbers, so I make it a point to exercise and watch my numbers. And I stay hydrated since proper hydration can help dilute blood glucose numbers.

Good luck as you find your way. Have a wonderful day.
