High fasting what am i doing wrong

I am following my meal plan. My sugar was a little high 2 hrs after lunch 155 after eating only 3.5 carb choices with protein, then normal after dinner with 4 carb choices. 2 hours after dinner I had my snack and ate apples and peanut butter and may have eaten a little too much 2 medium apples with peanut butter and this morning my fasting was 280.
Any suggestions? I am trying so hard and feel like I just can't stay controlled

Sorry if this post is confusing, my phone erased some parenthesis

    Also when you are diet controlled and have a high number do you wait to eat your next meal? I am not sure what to do about breakfast, should I hold off and try to walk?

    How many carbs are you supposed to have for night snack? Apples have a fair bit of sugar so 2 might have been pushing it.  It would be 4 carb choices (60grams of carbohydrates, depending on the size).

    One thing you can try is waking in middle of night to test then test again in morning to see if your morning number is a lot higher than middle of night number.  If it is a lot higher than it's likely hormonal.  If it is high in middle of night and about the same in morning it may be more related to your snack.

    280 is a HUGE number, I would contact your OB/MFM.

    My bedtime snack is supposed to be 1 milk, 1 carb, 1 protein. I normally have a serving of regular full fat ice cream and a string cheese. I personally do much better with regular fat/full fat items as part of my overnight snack as it helps sustain my blood sugars better (I drop in the middle of the night & surge in the AM).

    280 seems dangerously high.  I would definitely call my provider ASAP.  That is a lot of carbs for a bedtime snacks, could be 60+, but after that much time elapsed I don't think you should be that high.  Sorry you are going through this!

    I saw my OB yesterday and told her about my horrible night sweats.  It didn't feel like my sugar was low just super sweaty.  But my fasting #'s were a little high 107-120.  So she told me to check my sugar at 2 a.m. to see if I was dropping through the night.  She said if your sugar drops while your sleeping your body reacts to regulate it and it over compensates that's why I could be waking with higher numbers.   Sure enough I checked my sugar at 2 a.m. and it was 70.  Had a snack and went back to bed.  This a.m. it was 94.  I hope this helps you.  280 is a high number.  Are you type 1 or 2.  I'm type 2

    280 is not a typical fasting GD number. Did you wash your hands before you tested? It is very important or you will get unreliable numbers. If you are still getting numbers like that with clean hands, you need to contact your provider immediately.

    I think maybe I hadnt washed my hands. I had used an alcohol wipe on my finger that I poked but didnt think about the rest. It makes sense, because I checked it again shortly after and it was 90. You're right, the snack was too much though, I try to stick to 12 carbs and 1 protein at night, but I over did it.
