What medication are you on? I'm a type 1 and had a similar issue and a switch in insulin from Novarapid to Apidra helped sort it for me. If you're type 2, carb control, increase in some form of protein intake / morning exercise (high intensity/strength training) would help. A walk doesn't do it.

I am also feeling the same experience. I am taking Lantus Insulin 10 units after food in the night with Glynase MF . I will eat 2 chapatis in the night. When I checked my FBS in the morning the reading of BS will run from 130 to 150 and after tiffin (after 2 hours) the blood sugar level will be 260. I am taking Gliptin and Glynase MF in the morning. After 2 hours of this my blood sugar will decrease to 120 to 130. I am diabetics for more than 15 years. Please clarify me how this is possible.
