While those levels are a bit  higher than normal, it's pretty common for diabetics (not just T2s) to have issues with morning blood sugars. The dawn phenomena means that your liver pumps out sugar first thing in the morning (got to get out there and chase that mammoth). T2s get high bgs because they can't tell the liver to only do low carb sugar deliveries, T1s suffer because they need more insulin at that time of day and they generally don't have it unless on a pump.Om the other hand, if nothing has changed and your levels are going up despite low carbing, it might be time to double check that you are in fact T2 and not a slow onset T1.  Some T2s also start producing less insulin because high bgs have damaged their insulin producing cells. It might be time to request a cpeptide test (checks how much insulin you are producing).</blockquote>
