Hi, I rested my BG before bed and it was 11.1. I expected it would continue to go down overnight but it was exactly the same. Can anyone help me understand why?
 
There are a number of reasons..
it may have gone down overnight but dawn phenomenon has pushed it back up again.
your body is overloaded with excess glucose so is taking advantage of your fasting time to dump as much as it can into the bloodstream
depending on what you had for dinner your spike might have been prolonged
blood glucose levels can also be impacted by poor sleep..how was yours?
 
Some foods take longer to digest than others and some people have a slow digestion system so what you ate for your evening meal could still be going through the system and hence converting it into glucose !
