fasting glucose in morning

I took my blood sugar in the morning a few times. I have a tester b/c I gestational diabetes when I was pregnant (baby born in Feb 04) I had to take insulin shots. I took my blood and it's been getting higher and higher in the a.m. before eating.went from 95, 96, 103, 110, 113... After I eat it's usually ok. Less than 126.

Just wondering if thats anything to think about?

Well,

I too had GD and now have sugars above normal but below diabetic. It was the symptoms that tipped me off. I was just so fatigued, for absolutely no reason. I would look into glucose intolerance/pre-diabetes. Normal people do not have fbs above 90-100.

Hope that helps.

Thanks!

I should look into it. My body is sort of a mess lately. Been diagnosed with PCOS and hyperthyroid. Since I have those things going on I thought I would look into my sugar. After I gave birth my fasting sugars stayed in the low 100s, but when I eat my sugar (2 hours afterwards ) are usually in the 90's. It seems mostly my fasting was high, just like when I was prego.
