My high blood sugar level

I usually have a normal blood sugar level when going to bed only to wake up in the morning with a very high blood sugar level. Kindly explain what causes this.

This can happen especially to diabetics. This is known as dawn syndrome or dawn phenomena. Usually, this happens when there is a Blood Glucose drop at night while you are asleep so your liver releases glucose to get it back up. A good way to prevent this is to have a snack shortly before bed. Usually, something with some sugar and fiber an orange, or other fruit works well.
