[QUOTE="Larissima, post: 1104861, member: 160311"] From Dr Fung's article: "Just before awakening (around 4am), the body secretes higher levels of Growth Hormone, cortisol, glucagon and adrenalin. Together, these are called the counter-regulatory hormones. That is, they counter the blood sugar lowering effects of insulin, meaning that they raise blood sugars. The nocturnal surge of growth hormone is considered the primary cause of the DP." So, it's not just a function of fasting. He also mentions that it (DP) occurs in up to 75% of T2D patients. [/QUOTE]
