High Bl00d Sugar in the Morning: The Dawn Phenomenon Explained

by

But in people with diabetes or insulin resistance, the body doesn’t produce enough insulin, or the insulin doesn’t work properly. As a result, blood sugar increases and stays elevated.

⚠️ Signs You Might Be Experiencing the Dawn Phenomenon

  • High blood sugar levels only in the morning (fasting glucose)
  • Normal or low blo0d sugar before bedtime
  • Feeling sluggish, thirsty, or foggy-headed upon waking
  • Dry mouth or headache in the morning

If your blood sugar increases before breakfast even after a light or carb-free dinner, the dawn phenomenon could be the reason.

🩺 How to Tell If It’s the Dawn Phenomenon

The best way to confirm it is by tracking your blood sugar at different times:

  • Before bed
  • Around 3:00 a.m.
  • When you wake up

If your glucose rises between 3 a.m. and waking, that’s a strong sign of the dawn phenomenon.
