Hi Candice,
It really depends on the time of day and if you use long-acting insulin and what times. When my BG used to rise it tended to be mid-afternoon / early evening and it turns out the Lantus I was using at the time wasn't that effective, so I switched onto 2 injections of Levemir as well as my fast-acting Novarapid.
Your long acting insulin could be at the point of running out at certain times of the day, whilst Lantus should last 24 hours, it's not the case in everyone. Same with Levemir lasting for 16 hours. If you're having no carbs, then it's more likely to be due to any long acting insulin you take.
