MODY
My level was 15.4 today. Am new to this and although it was 10 before I went to sleep this morning it rose even though I didn't eat anything last night and had my Levemir.
 
Welcome to the forum, @VinnieSwan!
Your higher FBG reading this morning was probably due to what is known as the Dawn Phenomenon, or liver dump. As your BGs drop overnight your liver releases stored glucose into your system to prevent levels from falling too low. It's a normal reaction whether you are diabetic or not, but it can be very frustrating if you are trying to maintain low BGs.
The more glucose stored in your liver, the higher your readings are likely to be. Many T2 members have found that following a low carb, high fat diet - as outlined here on the website - can reduce your glucose stores and bring these readings down to a consistently lower level. I don't know enough about MODY to know if that will help you too, but I'm sure others on the forum will know.
I'm tagging @daisy1, who will send you some more information which may be of help.
Good luck with your journey - keep posting and sharing!

Hi :) There are members with MODY here. Do you know what type of MODY you have?

Have you tried setting an alarm to test in the night so you can see when the rise is happening?
