The dawn effect is where your liver dumps stored glucose because your fasting. The liver stores sugar as a backup when glucose is low, as in time of fasting. Daily exercise and certain medications help a lot! I've done research on this when doctors had no idea 15 years ago why my blood sugar was so high in the mornings.
One interesting fact I found was that if you exercise (cardio-walking is great) 22 minutes that will use the fast glucose in your blood. After 22 minutes, then you start to burn the stored liver glucose. That's how exercise will help lower your AM glucose.
