I’ve been testing since Thursday. My fasting tests for yesterday and today have both been 5.6 and 5.8 alongside my after breakfast reading today of 9.6. At which point should I contact my diabetes team? I’m very new to the GD world. Thanks in advance!

My team said after 3 bad readings in a week I should call. If you’ve just started maybe is worth looking if there isn’t anything you can do and try for just acouple of days, and then calling after.
For example, I found that having a high fibre and protein snack before bed helped keeping my fasting levels in check, and having a low carb high protein breakfast as well, or having a walk. In general, rule of thumb is meals carb up to 35/40g and snack 10/15g. For me it has worked (so far).
But if even doing the above your sugars are still high, or if you feel like you can’t restrict yourself, call your team and ask for help

I find doing 20 squats after each meal really helps to lower the result x
I think my main struggle will be my fasting sugars x
