This is called “ The Dawn Phenomenon”
It’s the bodies normal action to get ready for the day by the liver releasing stored glucose. Very normal. A non diabetics pancreas takes care of this rise whereas diabetics can’t and you see the rise. You are not alone.

I have dawn syndrome. It makes my first check of the day to be around 130. My pre lunch will be 95. My a1c is around 6.5 to 7.5 depending on how "bad" my diet is. The doctor says go by your a1c. He says it is like a snapshot for three months. I early on did a complete test schedule for two weeks to see when my up and downs were. I discovered my dawn syndrome ... Also could see the impact of exercise and food binges. Try it... It will settle your mind about those "unusual" readings. I'm currently around 7.0 and considered under control.
