You may want to do a search on the forum posts for Dawn Phenomenon and/or DP and/or somogyi effect, which is, in short, where the body increases growth hormones and the liver dumps glucogon in the early hours to prepare itself for the day ahead. It can also depend on what you ate last night, as some foods take many hours to digest and process, so may not have completed by the time you tested.

Because all the glykogen stored in your liver are released to the bloodstream while you sleep. (The body empty it's glykogen storage).
