Kendall, I'm surprised your glucose is high first thing - mine is usually low-to-spot-on, due to the 10-or-so-hours I've fasted since dinner.

When I read your first post I immediately thought 'Diabetes!'. I don't understand the measuring conventions in the USA, you have a different system to us over here, but what is the 'normal' or 'recommended' level? How does '115' compare against that? Here, we aim for 6.5 Mmol, and mine is almost always between 5.5 and 6.5 first thing (unless I'm a naughty boy and eat cake at bedtime!).

You say you're not diabetic - have you had all the tests for that (including the Glucose-Tolerance test which indicates the rate at which your system deals with a large, rapid intake of glucose)?

I know your system's been beaten with several very big sticks this past few years, but don't disregard the possibility of Diabetes. It, too, is a killer.

And, of course, very best wishes for a good outcome.
