It can happen if you are a type 1 or type 2 diabetic, or if you have insulin resistance really bad. </p> <p>Causes of elevated morning blood sugar:</p> <p>1. Spike in Cortisol - Normally between 12 and 3 am, you have higher insulin sensitivity in the liver, so the blood sugar works a lot better. But, cortisol which mobilizes glucose for action and stress, peaks between 6 and 9 in the morning. </p> <p>2. Type 1 diabetes – There’s a growth hormone spike that can mobilize the blood sugar.</p> <p>3. Type 2 diabetes – The liver is making glucose called gluconeogenesis. Also, glucagon and epinephrine are hormones that can spike blood sugar. If you are a type 2 diabetic for a long period of time, you are eventually going to lose the ability to produce insulin.</p> <p>4. Consuming a lot of carbs the night before. </p> <p>What to do if you have high blood sugar in the morning:</p> <p>• Give it time – Do the healthy ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting </p> <p>• Exercise </p> <p>• Avoid carbs – especially the night before </p> <p>• Take apple cider vinegar diluted with water the night before</p> <p><br></p> <p>Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:</p> <p>Dr. Berg, 51 years of age is a chiropractor who specializes in weight loss through nutritional & natural methods.
