I am sure you are being monitored with this clinical trial.
I will be on this study for another 9 months. Have been on it for the past 6 months. I know it will work, because I seen my numbers go down, but now they are back up again and I just haven't been able to take control and change them. My nurse is trying to work with me and wants me to excerise but my energy levels have hit bottom. I am on my way to the breathing test lab now for part of this study. It checks to make sure I am inhaling and exhaling enough. I will write more later.
I just wanted to add some information I had recently received from my nutritionist. It's about Blood sugar readings being high in the early morning and then lowering later in the day. I think it's called Dawn Phenomenon. Anyway, many people do have higher readings early in the day. So I would be wary of adjusting insulin to these readings.
Years ago, I got a blood pressure monitor and was checking early in the morning. I was getting very concerned because the numbers were so high.
Then I read that blood pressure is supposed to be higher in the morning. It's what helps you wake up from slumber.
so my suspicion is that a lot of functions happen in the a.m. just to get these bodies started each day.
I hope yours is going great.
by the by....my reading this a.m. (7ish) was 112, which I thought was ok.

I know exercise is hard for you. Any possibility you could get a pedometer and even try to just walk more. I will say way back when I started exercising due to some other conditions, it was hard for me to walk much. so i started out with something piddly like 5 minutes each on the arm cycle and treadmill. I gradually increased it(more than the plan I had worked out with a trainer....but could not reach the speeds she thought I could). Walmart has an Omron pedometer(not real cheap, less than $19 though, has a little leash(I needed it cuz the first week I usually bumped it off the waist at least 5-6 times a day!!) and it just runs all the time. some will shut off if you dont move for a while. This one also has a 7 day memory, and so you can compare how many steps each day for a whole week. then just try to increase the daily steps a little at a time. Just remember to start slow and dont try to much to start. also do something that you can stay with.
I will say the higher morning numbers are also I believe an indication of insulin resistance, and that often can be helped by exercise!!
Also weird as it sounds, the little energy you DO expend on exercise WILL come back to you tenfold!! the more you exercise the more energy you get. I have found it also helps my mood a LOT, lowers my stress, blood pressure, and can even lower the cholesterol!!
