Okay, I have been able to keep my sugars at 105-116 during the day and at night, but first thing in the morning my fasting reading is 135. I am on 500 mg Metformin at night. Is it normal to be higher in the morning than in the day?

Take about 150 of your daily calorie allotment and eat it at bedtime, making sure that part of the calories is spent as carbs and the other as protein. A string cheese and half a small apple. A slice of low carb bread with a couple of ounces of leftover meat from dinner. A half cup of milk and a half serving of cereal. An ounce of cheese and six crackers. You get the drift. This should be eaten right before bedtime. Give yourself a good 10-14 days of trying this before you decide whether it's working or not. It might result in lowering your AM numbers. Or not. Some have good luck with the bedtime snack, others do not. Worth a try.

This results from two distinctly different processes: Dawn Phenomenon and Somogyi Effect. Type them in your search engine. Hope this helps! Rita
Our livers kick out some sugar while we're sleeping no matter if we eat before bed or not.
