Nope, I've been religious about my medication. (Oral only.)

Read Cammie again, she is dead on target. It used to happen to me a lot. I fought it and cried over it and finally I said, to heII with it one night and ate a small piece of cake at bed time. The next morning my sugar was a lot closer to where I wanted it. So I did it again that night and it didn't help quite as much. Anyway, I did some experimenting and found that 3-4 Ritz crackers help me a great deal. Now I don't know what will happen to you but as diabetics we have to share this sort of information freely. Lord knows I have learned a lot on here and discarded more that I kept. Every body is different and what works for one is not guaranteed to work for anyone else.
Good luck on taming this very very annoying situation.

Are you taking any medication? Some meds can raise your blood sugar. How long before bed did you eat? Even if you don't eat in the middle of the night, your body id still breaking down the food that you ate during the evening.

I'd like to know the answer to that too, hun! My mama has the same problem. She had an empty stomach and her blood sugar was still REALLY HIGH. I just don't understand how blood sugar can be high when you don't have anything in your tummy or in your bloodstream. No glucose or anything. *scratching head* I wish I understood diabetes more!
Hope you have a Merry Christmas

The liver produces a form of sugar in a process called gluconeogenesis (gluco--> sugar, neo -->new, genesis--> production.) This is a normal process that keeps us all going during those times when we are not eating, like during the night. In diabetics it can become problematic and frustrating. Some diabetes drugs target this process in order to keep blood sugar in control.

Sounds like you were low last night and your body compensated by raising your sugar.
Keep good records for a week or so, if this continues, call your doctor to work out a better schedule.
It's called the "Dawn Phenomena "
Good luck

Repeating what's already been said, this is the "Dawn Phenomena". You have to get your Doc to decrease your evening dose of whatever you're on. This should get rid of your high morning sugars.
