Experts Explain Early Morning Blood Sugar Rise and Its Impact on Diabetics
The 'Dawn Phenomenon' causes blood sugar levels to rise in the early morning hours due to hormonal releases like cortisol and growth hormone, which prompt the liver to release stored glucose. This natural process affects everyone but leads to higher fasting blood sugar in people with diabetes, whose insulin response is impaired. Experts note that longer fasting periods can also result in elevated glucose levels as the body maintains energy supply, especially in those with insulin resistance or diabetes.
