Thats right @A DiabetesTeam Member as @A DiabetesTeam Member said you need to eat weather you want it or not, our bodies are a complicated network.

It sounds like you might be experiencing the dawn phenomenon, which is common in people with type 2 diabetes. This phenomenon is characterized by a rise in blood sugar levels in the early morning hours, even if you haven't eaten anything. It's a result of your body releasing hormones that increase blood sugar to prepare for the day.
