high a.m .reading

When I get up and take a reading before breakfast
I find it to be 8.4 or something around there.

why is it up in the morning.
quite often I see this advice, do reading before meal ,
it shoud be between 4& 7, then after meal should be between 5 &10

so if high to start with and I eat and it goes higher ,
what on earth do I do.

    If it’s hight to start with, eat zero carbs until it comes back down to
    normal; if it’s not too high, also exercise to bring it down.

    Great advice.
    I eat an all protein and olive oil meal to get mine to come down.

    Ps Multiply by 18 to get the American style reading equivalent, someone
    asked about readings in the 4 to 10 range. That’s the 72 to 180 range in
    USA.
