Good evening, I'm curious to find out why my blood sugars are high when I wake up in the morning, I take medication, and I'm being really good with my food content.
Some advice is needed please

What sort of readings are you getting.
Morning readings are often the last ones to go down when day time readings are more reasonable. The reason is for some people as soon as they get out of bed their reading increases due to the liver releasing glucose to give you energy for the day in the absence of food. Called Foot on the floor syndrome.
The forum is playing up so this may post several times.

I never heard of Foot on the Floor syndrome before. Learning something new every day, which is always good 😉

I had heard of something similar called the Dawn Effect. Perhaps the same thing? The theory goes that the liver releases glucose in the run up to your usual waking time to provide energy to start the day, and will continue to pump out glucose at an elevated level until you eat something.

I only test my blood glucose twice per day at present - before breakfast and before my evening meal. The morning number is consistently higher than the evening number. The rare exception was a day I woke up a few hours before my usual waking time.

Pretty well the same but Dawn effect can occur before people wake up.
Sometimes people will notice a difference between testing as soon as they wake up in bed and after getting up and pottering about, getting dressed, making a cuppa etc.
