Understanding Morning Blood Sugar Spikes: Causes and Prevention

Sometimes, blood sugar levels can jump up overnight, which can be confusing.

This can happen because of the 'dawn phenomenon,' where the body releases hormones in the early morning.

These hormones make the liver release sugar.

It could also be the Somogyi effect, where blood sugar gets too low overnight, and the body responds by releasing too much sugar to correct it.

To avoid this, eat a balanced dinner, skip sugary snacks before bed, and consider a walk.

Tracking blood sugar regularly and working with your doctor are helpful for staying healthy.
