What was your bg reading last night and this morning?

8.9 at 2300 yesterday
4.6 at 0645 this morning
That was after taking a higher dose of insulin last night when BG had been high all day. The extra kept my BG down until I got up (up to 8.9 an hour later) and I understand that there is a dawn phenomenon - I'm OK with that and I know that the liver dumps glycogen to push BG up sometimes, but what I don't know is if there is any harm done by the liver keeping on dumping. I can't take insulin, or Metformin unless I eat and I'm trying not to eat until noon at the earliest.

I haven't been able to find a thread that covers this. Can anyone point me to one?
