Answers:
Yes, they should, but they frequently aren't!. This is called the daphenomenonnum!. There are several hormones that are released by your body in the early morning hours, all steroids, which increase your glucose levels!. A non diabetic's body releases extra insulin to handle these steroids, but a diabetic's body doesn't do that, so your glucose rises!. Your post prandials are great, by the way!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Not necessarily!. I have diabetes type 2 and have times that fasting is higher than all other readings in a day!. Doctor told me that there are some of us who will "produce sugar" even in our sleep and it won't matter what we eat or don't eat before bed!.
