Good evening from South Jersey @A DiabetesTeam Member,
Are you drinking enough water. Are you drinking at least a half ounce water for every pound of body weight daily. Baby steps.

The phenomenon or high blood glucose numbers when it is hot is usually related to dehydration.

With less fluid in the blood, then your numbers will be higher.

The heat stress can also bump your numbers up a bit.

So it is a bit of a double whammy.

Good luck with controlling your numbers. Baby steps.
I wish for you more good days than bad and have many exceptional days too.

And never give up, never surrender, never ever.
You got this.
Have a wonderful day.

The rise in blood sugar levels in the early morning, even without any activity, could be due to the "dawn phenomenon." This is a natural rise in blood sugar that occurs in the early morning hours, typically between 2 a.m. and 8 a.m. It happens because the body releases hormones like cortisol and growth hormone, which increase insulin resistance and cause blood sugar levels to rise.

For more information, you can refer to the article on the dawn phenomenon: [Emergency Services Crews Often Unprepared for Diabetic Crises](https://www.DiabetesTeam.com/resources/emergenc...).
