Crazy stuff my morning spike after 10 hours is usually around 7.2 but this morning I woke at 3 starving and had a bowl of protein cereal no sugar and six hours later blood glucose is 5.7. ‍♂️

Possibly, your usual morning fasting readings of 7.2 are down to the Dawn phenomenon (DP) effect . It usually starts around 3am when your body starts to prepare itself for day time activity. It's governed by your circadian rhythm system. Hormones are released to startup this preparation. Because you ate around 3am , which is when this DP process starts, you may have halted it, as your body detects food input.
