Blood sugar levels can rise even if you haven't eaten due to several factors:

1. Insulin Resistance: In type 2 diabetes, your cells may resist insulin, making it hard for glucose to enter cells, causing blood sugar to rise.
2. Liver Glucose Release: Your liver stores glucose and releases it when needed. If your body signals a need for glucose, the liver releases it, raising blood sugar levels.
3. Stress and Hormones: Stress and hormonal changes can trigger the release of glucose into the bloodstream.

Regular monitoring and consulting with your healthcare provider can help manage these fluctuations.
