Its probably foot on the floor phenomena. Basically your body gets ready after waking up by releasing energy which increases the BS levels.
Used to happen a lot with me when I was on Lantus, now not so much I switched to Tresiba, but will still increase if I do certain exercises without food.
How high would it go in general?
Yep. Every morning. Really frustrating when you want to maintain a beautiful straight line on the CGM and your friendly liver decides otherwise.I always get rising blood sugar levels in the morning, after breakfast, or exercise after waking.
I use 3u of Novorapid in the morning to combat the high blood sugars. I intermittent fast so I don’t eat till 1pm if I was to, my blood sugars will start going crazy for some reason.
Does any else inject insulin in the morning to combat this?
I don't find this to be true. I find the rise happens no matter what and must be countered with insulin. If I wake up and don't eat right away I have to take 1 to 2 units depending on what my BG is. If I eat right away I still have to take those 1 to 2 units + insulin for breakfast, and if I have coffee or walk my dog I need even more insulin to deal with that. It might be true for some type 1s or maybe type 2s that eating stops the rise, but for me it just starts happening the second I get out of bed and nothing except more and more insulin can stop it!d it's your body acting in response to the absence of food
Same for me. On the few occasions I do eat breakfast I inject for that again and ignore the insulin I already injected for getting out of bed.I find the rise happens no matter what and must be countered with insulin.
I have the same problem - my blood sugar rises the minute I get up! I have been type 1 for 51 years and this has never changed, except for a few months when I was pregnant. Apparently there is commonly a dawn rise in blood sugar so just put up with it. I tend to try to run most mornings before I eat and this seems to raise it even more! It does usually drop, but during the night. I use a freestyle sensor and this makes testing much easier, especially during the night and also saves my fingers.I don't find this to be true.

Yes, I find physical activity will raise BG rather than lower it in the morning. I used to run and would take a unit or two before starting.I tend to try to run most mornings before I eat and this seems to raise it even more
