When the nurse took my BP and blood, she did a BG test on a sample from the
drawn blood. The result was 131, which I disagreed with so she did it a
finger prick and tested again. The finger blood tested 127, almost the same.
I had not eaten anything except a cup of black coffee. I had tested at home
and was 99. Then I drove to the doctor's office, a 15 minute drive. My BG
had risen about 30 points in less than 30 minutes for no reason at all,
strange.

Dawn phenomenon or liver dump.

When I woke last week on the day of my tests I was 5.5(100).
My blood was drawn at 9am. The test results from the lab
were 7(126). My only surprise was that it had not risen
higher; it usually did in the past.
