My blood sugars spike as soon as my feet touch the ground when I wake up. I have to take 6units of fast acting insulin with my morning coffee. Then wait an hour to eat breakfast. However I’m the worst at skipping meals. I sure hope your Dr find a solution that helps you. I’m stuck on my amount of long acting insulin, one more unit makes me drop in my sleep & one less doesn’t keep me in the green. So I just wake up to taking fast acting insulin.

Hi- yes. I agree. The dawn phenomenon is most likely the cause. However, someone told me once to make sure you eat lots of protein in the morning. Seems to work for me. Blood sugar is pretty stable most days.
You could also dose a little extra insulin to counteract the effects. Sometimes I have to do this. Not too much though. Don’t want to go low.
Hope this helps😊

High blood sugar in the morning may be caused by the dawn phenomenon. Talk to your doctor about this and what to do.

Are you T1 or T2, on insulin, use a pump? If you take insulin via MDI, your long-acting or overnight dose may need adjusting. If on a pump, your basals may need an adjustment. If you eat a bedtime snack, perhaps skipping it, or eating a smaller snack would help. Or, what you're experiencing could be dawn phenomenon. There are so many possible causes for high morning sugars! I'd suggest you talk to your doctor about your concerns.
