T1 - Morning bg levels

Infection can/does raise bg.

My bg rises during the morning too - it's most annoying. Possibly due to liver getting you ready for hunting an elephant by dumping glucose.

Someone with T1 will have a better answer Im sure.

Hi All

You are probably experiencing something called the Dawn Phenomenon.

Dawn Phenomenon effect occurs when hormones are released by the body, causing the liver to release glucose. The dawn effect therefore describes abnormally high early morning increases in blood glucose: Usually abnormally high blood glucose levels occur between 8 and 10 hours after going to sleep for people with diabetes

Sometimes people find eating a high fat low carb snack just before bed can help - eg a piece of cheese and/or a handful of dry-roasted peanuts
