38: High Morning Blood Sugar Levels Explained & What To Do About It

Type 2 Diabetes Talk

Why do your blood sugar levels spike in the morning even after fasting all night?
This is a baffling and confusing subject for many, so in this episode we examine the dawn phenomenon and the Somogyi effect, two key drivers of morning glucose surges in people with type 2 diabetes or prediabetes. Essentially, hormonal changes, insulin resistance, and rebound hyperglycemia all play a potential role in this complex issue.
But, more than viewing the science behind these high morning readings, we offer practical strategies to help you achieve better morning blood sugar readings.
Discover how regulating daily sugar levels, balanced evening meals, avoiding late-night high-carb snacks, and even a unique tip involving apple cider vinegar and cheese can stabilize your morning blood sugar levels.
