Just another thought...have you checked your basals lately? Is 185 a typical waking number for you? I know that is frustrating trying to get that "perfect" number for the doctor's appointment...I've gone "low" for the same reason...just before my appointment! LOL! Nothing like chewing on glucose tabs in the car...waiting to go inside for an A1C test...(my old doctor used to look at the current glucose level at morning of test...in addition to the A1C...like they were related?)
