Under 1.0 is usually not a concern. If your BG is normal too then it’s just one of those things. You may be slightly under the weather but nothing to worry about. If it rises above 1 then you would look at treating ketones which usually requires more insulin than you would usually use for BG so it’s good to remind yourself of sick day protocols but it doesn’t look like you’ll need them today.

I’d probably set an alarm to test at 2am or just test if I got up to pee in the night tonight too. It sounds like your blood sugar was higher than normal, but if it’s ok now and your ketones are ok then all’s fine. If you can think of any reason why you might have been higher overnight, that would be useful. My only concerns really would be dodgy or forgotten basal insulin or approaching illness.
Just keep an eye on things today with plenty of tests and be extra meticulous about drinking enough water in case your overnight peeing dehydrated you a little.
