Can someone explain to me please

What you are potentially seeing there is something we call the Dawn Phenomenon.

Essentially your body releases a bunch of hormones that help get you going in the morning, one of the effects of this is to cause your blood glucose to rise a bit.

What sort of spike are you seeing in the mornings? If it is 1 or 2 mmol/l more then night time then this is possibly what you are seeing. If it is a lot more then perhaps it is something you should raise with your Dr since, depending on the time you take them, your meds could be running out overnight.

That said I am Type 1 but I am sure there will be some 2's along who can give you better first hand advice

Hello - and welcome!! You will find your morning fasting may well be the last reading to lower and settle. Many of us also have the frustrating "dawn phenomenon" where our livers kindly "dump" some glucose for us to help us start our day!

My bg are always higher in the morning 2hrs after breakfast down to 5 ish as stated it's a thing called dawn phenomenon I've even tested in the middle of the night and it's still low when I was on metformin I tried taking last tablet really late but made no difference just one of those things

Yes, it will be the dawn phenomenon and as you suggest, fasting blood test results are not good indicators for diabetes and are generally not very useful

I'm struggling with this. I'm trying different things such as insulin dose ,time I take insulin, a snack before bed if my bg is on the low side etc etc.... So far my liver is winning the battle
