Why my sugar raises in morning???

While counseling people, I noticed, many of them experience an abnormal increase of blood sugar in early morning, at the wake-up time. They come with the complaint and request to control this and even ask, why is it happening? Actually, they are unaware of the reason behind this. They think something is wrong with the diet system. 

I usually explain the concept to the individual but sometimes they are convinced and sometime not. This incident makes me realize that some awareness must be created on this issue. There are 3 reasons behind the issue. Let’s see 
  • What is Dawn Phenomenon?
     
    When you are experiencing the rise of your blood sugar in the early morning in between 2 a.m. to 8 a.m. then this condition is considered as dawn phenomenon or dawn effect. Usually in the morning the hormones including cortisol and growth hormones signal the liver to boost the production of glucose, which is used for providing energy that helps to wake up early in the morning.  This trigger beta cells in the pancreas to release insulin in order to keep blood glucose level in check. But if you are suffering from diabetes, your body will not produce enough insulin and thus increases the blood sugar. As a result, your levels may be elevated when you wake up. 
What is Somogyi effect? 

The Somogyi effect is named after the scientist Michael Somogyi, who was the first person to describe it. This is the body’s response to low blood sugar or hypoglycemia during night. It usually happens when you miss your dinner or take too much insulin after your evening meal. Your blood sugar may falls down and become too low at night. Then your body makes more glucose in order to compensate and make you to wake up with high blood sugar. So try not to skip the dinner. 
Sumogyi
What is waning insulin? 

Sometimes high morning blood sugar may also be caused by insufficient insulin the night before. Like, if your insulin levels fall too low overnight, then obviously your blood sugar will rise. The reason behind the drop on insulin may vary from person to person, but it more commonly occurs when your long-acting insulin dose is too low or if you are using an insulin pump and the pump setting provide too little basal insulin overnight, it may cause high sugar in morning. 


Now the question arises—how can it be managed and controlled? 
When you talk with your doctor, he will recommend more medicine or might increase the doses. But, what I think, if I can control this by managing diet and lifestyle, then why don’t we go for this option. It is always better option.
