I have type 2, controlled with metformin twice daily and NovoMix insulin. My query regards an anomalous series of readings I get. I usually get a normal result, under 7 mmol/L [126 mg/dl] before I leave for work at 5:15 in the morning. If I retest prior to breakfast, at work, around 7 a.m., my reading is usually higher, sometimes at 9.5 mmol/L [171 mg/dl]. I usually have a small drink of tea or water in between, which should not cause such a change. Why do you think this may be happening?
