Something to think about fellas...many diabetics experience the Dawn Phenom. Check your glucose about an hour after your first check it in the morning, without a meal. See if it has gone down. A theory exists that our bodies produce more sugar while we sleep to help the body prepare for the next day's activities, a leftover trait from our hunting days (well, some of us still hunt
).
Make sure you mention this to your doctor. There are different ideas on how to get this to come down. Hopefully, with diet and exercise, you can lower your glucose levels in the mornings.
