Welcome to the group Lari2010 .

Let me rephrase your question:

''What is the best food to lower fasting blood glucose?''

As the name suggests, fasting blood glucose is measured after long period of fast( 10 - 12 hrs). In principle, food taken ( 10 - 12 hrs prior to measurement) should have insignificant influence over the fasting blood glucose reading. High blood sugar in the morning is due to liver dumping glucose in the blood stream/Dawn phenomenon and insulin resistance. Please read the article below for more information:

Having the last meal at least two hrs before bedtime and good stress-free 8 hrs sleep are helpful to keep the morning blood sugar low. Also, taking apple cider vinegar before going to bed works to lower morning reading for some people.

In general, a diet low in carb, moderate in protein and rest healthy fat is good for controlling diabetes.
