I am 43 years old, female, and I control my blood sugar levels with diet (avoiding most carbs and sugars), but my morning blood glucose reading is always around 120 mg/dl [6.7 mmol/L] whereas the rest of the day’s readings are 80-100 mg/dl [4.4-5.6 mmol/L]. I eat nothing after dinner, and when I test my blood before going to bed it is normal but when I wake up it is elevated. What causes this morning elevation in blood sugar? How can it be corrected?
