MsWool, it is known as the “dawn phenomenon”, a surge of hormones that the body produces daily around 4:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m. It affects everyone, diabetics more than others, and IFing will alter the timing of secretion of human growth hormone & insulin. The rise in glucose is mostly because your body is making less insulin and more glucagon than it needs. Glucagon signals the liver to break down glycogen into glucose.
Steps that may help:
- Eat dinner earlier in the evening
- Do something active after dinner (such as going for a walk)
But give it time, as Bonnie said, it takes your body time to adjust. Despite the morning high, your BG is probably lower during the rest of the day, and it is the area under the curve that matters.
