It's probably the 'Dawn Phenomenon' where your liver dumps glucose in the early hours of the morning. I'm quite new to this but from what I understand and reading other posters on here, it's very common and takes a while after being diagnosed to get it under control. If you search for 'Dawn Phenomenon' on here, you'll find plenty of threads that discuss it. Also 6.7 would be a great fasting bg for me! I'm usually in the mid-8's!
