Thanks to all of you for your quick and educational response. I still wonder then why my blood sugar level is 120 in the morning (fasting for good 8 hours) and less 100 in the afternoon 4 hours after lunch.

J and gand..are both absolutely correct. If you are diabetic and checking your sugar and you are having difficulty controling it you need to see your diabetes management nurse or physician. Now there are a few other things that can also cause a rise in am sugars that would be the use of corticosteroids for the control of inflamation or endocrin disorders. Corticosteroids can actually cause a non diabetic to require the use of diabetic medications during the course of there treatment (that cortisol thing going on there)

I am writing to tell you what an incredible impact these methods had on my life! I have had type 2 diabetes for 27 years. For me, the worst part of this horrible disease is the severe pain I constantly get in my feet. The pain is so bad that I avoid standing and walking as much as possible. I've got to tell you that within the first month, my feet stopped hurting altogether and I can now walk totally pain free.
Believe it or not, I even danced at my niece's wedding last month, something I have not done in a many years. I've been following the book for six months now and my blood sugar is well within normal range. I feel great!
I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

Sugar level is controlled by diet, exercise and drugs. Normal fasting blood sugar level is 60 to 105 mg/100ml. Your fasting blood sugar is high. Post prandial blood sugar should be taken 2 hours after taking food and it should be less than 126 mg/100 ml. The sugar level may vary from time to time.

Water helps a little, but so little you might not notice. I've tried a glass of red wine at bedtime, and that helps. The idea is that it keeps your liver busy overnight so it doesn't produce sugar. But if you have high fasting blood sugar, the best way to control it is with meds. Metformin is what my Dr. gives me. I went off it once, just to see how well it was working, and my morning BGs went from 110-120 to 150!

There's 2 reasons:
1) Dawn phenomenon - cortisol rises shortly after midnight, causing a rise in blood sugar in the morning.
2) Smyogmi (?) phenomenon - blood sugar drops low at night, and rebounds in the morning.
Also, During the day, you're more active which lowers blood sugar.

It is not unusual for your level to be higher in the a.m. and 120 should not raise any flags. After fasting for 8 hrs your pancreas is trying to make up the difference and going slightly over board.

If you are insulin dependent, your blood sugar will be higher in the morning because you have not yet taken your insulin and your body can not metabolise your blood sugar with out it. If you are not it is because your metabolisim is moving so much slower while you are asleep as compared during the day when you are moving.

You eat a carb load (something with carbs or sugars in it); in response, your body makes insulin. Normally your body would make just enough insulin, but in some people or with some meals, your body thinks it needs to make more (especially if you are eating high carb loads); so it makes a little more than it needs to, so your sugar goes down below what it was before.
