Are you taking your own BG at home, before and after eating meals? That is probably better than a one-off blood draw.

Here is a newer and better explanation of the dawn phenomenon, why you might have a higher reading in early morning blood draw versus your blood sugar reaction after eating meals. https://blog.virtahealth.com/dawn-phenomenon/

And always check for side effects for every drug you are on, even OTC pain relievers have an impact. Drugs.com is a good website in the US, not sure with different brand names in UK if there is better one?

Let us know what happens...would be interesting to hear the diabetes educators reaction if you discuss Dr Unwin's work and the Diabetes.UK program.
Btw, here is a map of UK doctors using LC. https://phcuk.org/map/. I don’t see one near Leicester, but this doctor has a blog and FB page you might find useful. https://www.dietdoctor.com/member/interviews/mccormack
