Quite possibly. You need to get the pre bedtime Bg level slightly higher, perhaps eat a small 'carby' snack before bedtime. What I think is happening is that during the night your Bg level is dropping much lower and at some point in the early hours, or even when you rise, your body is dumping Glucose into your blood to compensate and give you energy for the start of the day. This is known as the Dawn Phenomenon and is common in everybody, Diabetic or not. Hopefully, this should fix the problem. Low at bedtime isn't always best !
