We need to eat within 30-60 minutes of waking. That is the only way we can close the glucose taps that naturally open up to provide energy for our wake-up routine.

This stored glucose dumping by our livers is a natural process for everyone. Non diabetics release more than enough insulin to compensate for this morning glucose dump.

Unfortunately our damaged and broken systems do not.

Good luck.

How long are you waiting to check your sugar upon waking up?

High blood sugar in the morning could be due to the "dawn phenomenon," where blood sugar rises early in the morning due to hormonal changes. It’s common in people with type 2 diabetes. If this happens often, consult your doctor to adjust your treatment plan.
