Is there any way to explain morning test results vs. daytime test results?
Answer Mary, Based on your AM fasting values, you do have pre-diabetes. At this stage, it’s not unusual for your post-meal values to be in a normal range (which yours appear to be). If you’ve already made all the lifestyle improvements that you can, then there isn’t much else you can do to reduce the AM sugars except take metformin. Interestingly, there is some research on melatonin in type 2 diabetes, and taking a supplement may help lower morning blood sugars. It’s easy to buy as a supplement, and you can try that. Also, drinking a glass of wine in the evenings may lower morning values as well (if you’re willing to do that). Those are the only things I know of besides medications that might have a positive effect. Hope this helps.
