[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1632762, member: 94045"] It is your liver dumping glucose. In normal non-diabetic people hormones trigger the liver to dump glucose from its stores when glucose levels are low (lower than normal that is). These hormones then trigger the pancreas to produce insulin. The insulin sorts out the dumped glucose by pushing it into cells for use as energy, and blood glucose levels become balanced again with no significant rise in blood glucose. The liver is then triggered to stop dumping. This is a normal, natural phenomena and happens to everyone. In most T2s the system breaks down. The hormones sense when our blood glucose is lower than our bodies are used to, they trigger the release of liver glucose and this enters the blood stream. However, when the hormones trigger the pancreas to release insulin, this insulin cannot push the glucose into our cells because we are resistant to insulin doing this (insulin resistance). Therefore the dumped glucose remains in our blood stream until such time as either we eat again. If you want to stop this awful morning rise I suggest you have some fat and zero carbs [B]as soon as you can after getting up[/B]. I find a decaf coffee with cream solves my issues (but my numbers were never as high as yours). A couple of boiled eggs might also do the trick, or a big chunk of fatty cheese, but again, zero carbs and plenty of fat. This phenomena should stop when your insulin resistance has all but gone.
