@retiredteacher, my doc told me that if your blood sugar drops at night (or early morning while still sleeping) the liver starts producing glucose, which raises morning fasting blood sugars. Since I'm on long-acting insulin at night (i know you aren't) he had me decrease it and to be sure to have a reasonable bedtime snack to prevent my blood sugar from dropping too much overnight and stimulating the liver to make sugar. I'm not a doc, this is just what mine told me. It's called Smyogyi Syndrome and I'm not sure but I thing it happens to non-insulin dependent diabetcs also.
