Greetings @tsaghosh ,

A warm welcome to the forum. Thank you for joining us..

Your high morning sugar levels could be due to a glycogen dump into the blood stream by the liver. We call it "Dawn phenomenon."

Please feel free to ask questions or even start your own thread topic on the forum.

We look forward to hearing back from you! :)

Hi @Jaylee,
Thanks for the information

With the utmost respect to you. I would invite you to start your own thread/topic on this subject to gain advice from experienced type 2s.

Please do the needful for more productive advice on your issue.
