It seems that some people see a significant rise in BG in the early morning, even though they haven't eaten anything to prompt it. As I understand it, your liver starts to release some glucose to give you "waking up" energy, and in some people it gets carried away. That could explain your somewhat high number even though you hadn't eaten in half a day or so. Not that that number should scare you or anything; it's still in the normal range. And as many people pointed out to me when my very first test said "60", you should never take the results of a single test too seriously anyway. It's the overall picture you get after many tests that matters. From what I've read about dawn phenomenon, it seems like it would lessen in someone who stays low-carb, because we have less glucose hanging around in our muscles and organs to be released than the grain foragers do. But I suppose there's always going to be some stored away, especially in the liver.
