Low BGL in the morning

Normally, I wake to a BGL of between 6.5 and 8.
This morning I did my normal test and was shocked to see 3.6 shown in the window of my meter.
I did a second test on my other hand, and it showed 3.5.
Two hours after breakfast my level was up to 4.5.
Checked meter with control, and smack in the middle.
I didn't change anything last night, or had any incident during the night.
Has anyone had a similar morning reading?

I'd be perfectly happy with a 3.5 fasting reading. Unless you've got a lot of active medicine in your system, it's not dangerous and as you found, breakfast put you back to a perfect number. Non-diabetics usually stay around 4.5 - 5.

3.5 isn't normal after taking last insulin dose 15 hours earlier.
The two hour after breakfast level was also after taking this mornings dose of nova mix 30.

Back to normal of 7.2 this morning. Haven't a clue what caused yesterday's low reading.
