Most likely because you are low, your liver may be dumping glucose to make up the difference. (It's called dawn phenomenon, but happens during the rest of the day too.) Like I said, try another meter, and a different batch of test strips. Because these aren't the numbers of a diabetic. (And if they were, it'd be a poorly controlled one who'd be passing out left and right because he's overshooting insulin, which you're not on...). Something's off, and I have no idea what. The sooner you figure out whats going on, the better. Do you know what your HbA1c was?
Can I just point out as a Type 1 myself, that many things cause us to hypo. We work very hard to maintain control, counting carbs and matching insulin. Then along comes a heatwave/stress/excitement/illness/unexpected exertion. For some they may go hyper and others hypo. It is hard work to get it right on a daily basis.
