Why is it that I test before bed then when I wake up & my results are up lately I'm not eating after testing
 
It's called 'Dawn Phenomenon', where your liver gives you an extra boost of glucose in the mornings and raises your levels. It's actually a good idea to eat something soon after rising (e.g. an egg or some other low-carb meal) as this 'switches off' the liver's action (not completely, you still need it to trickly out a small amount!)
