What sort of foods are you eating? If you follow a LCHF diet then your BG should fall, but the morning fasting BG level is the last to fall. If you stick with it the numbers should fall in time. Meanwhile, you could try having a small carb snack just before you go to bed. It can sometimes work by tricking your liver into not putting a glucose burst into your bloodstream in the morning. It's the bodies way of providing you with energy for the new day, which is great unless you are T2 diabetic.Hi my overnight fasting blood sugar levels are around 7.5 to 8.5. This is after usually about nine hours fasting. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to reduce this?
MOST PEOPLE CAN GET NORMAL NUMBERS IF THEY EAT LESS THAN 150 GRAMS OF CARBS IN TOTAL DAILYOk thanks for your comment. I will try your suggestion

MANY CAN'T!!
(Sorry for the caps...trying to be a bit funny). But I eat less than 50, and often less than 20, but still get high morning readings after anywhere from 9-12 hours fast....it will usually drop after 3-4 hours though (still fasting).
I'm not convinced that the small carby snack before bed works to lower Dawn Phenomena. If one sleeps for 7-8 hours that snack has been and gone before dawn.
