If the DP is pushing your blood glucose up over night it may be better to eat a small amount of carbs in the morning. I have discovered a weird thing recently. Since I got Freestyle Libre I wait, after I've injected, before eating breakfast, until there's a small drop in my blood sugar, to make sure the insulin has started working.
The other day I had breakfast late, and I sat there for ages waiting for a small drop, and there wasn't one. Then I gave up and decided to eat anywhere, and about ten minutes later my blood sugar started going down.
I think eating affects the cortisol that causes the dawn phenomenon, so though it's counter intuitive actually eating a small amount of carbs might be better.
So is some carbs better than no carbs?
