[QUOTE="foxhaven19, post: 2344721, member: 133562"] The reason is simple. A trillion years ago when homo sapiens where hunter gathers they had to be ready to either run like hell or stand and fight as soon as they awoke if an attack by one of the monstrously large prehistoric animals hove into sight. Glucose is energy and good old mother nature made sure that there was sufficient amounts to fuel either one or the other. It's called the 'Fight or flight' syndrome. So in the middle of the night when there's no danger our BG falls because large amounts are not needed but as dawn arrives and there could be the need to react quickly, (like getting out of bed without falling over!) up goes our BG to compensate. You can do all sorts of things to lower waking figures by experimenting with amounts and timing if you're using insulin, but do you really need too? [/QUOTE]
