Normally Blood Sugar taken in the morning is expected to be lower than random Blood sugar. Is it true? In many cases it is not so.

[uniheal]

The practical observation is the Blood sugar level is often more in the morning than at

some other points of time in the day where we remain with out intake for 3 or 4 hours only.

For example I have my Blood sugar level in the morning 140-150. But the level is lower if measured at 4 or 5 o clock in the evening after having a normal food intake in the noon at about 1 o clock. Why is this? Can someone explain this?

Generally,blood sugar level will be lowest in the morning because you have been fasting for about 10 hours.Once you have breakfast and all other meals during the day until dinner the sugar levels will be fluctuating.It may go down below morning fasting level due to 1.The medicines you have taken are too effective 2.There is a wide gap between two meals and 3.You were too active physically during the day that the food you have consumed is not sufficient to maintain sugar level.Only you can review and analyse the reasons for such episodes and you have to discuss with your doctor during next review.

Thanks for the advice.

Dawn phenomenon, sometimes called the dawn effect, is an early-morning (usually between 2 a.m. and 8 a.m.) increase in blood sugar (glucose) relevant to people with diabetes.
