Why Is The Blood Sugar Levels Always Higher In The Morning?

Why is my blood sugar levels always higher in the morning (while fasting) than the rest of the day, even after eating. This morning, after fasting 12 hours, my blood sugar was 115. One hour after eating breakfast, which included a glass of orange juice, my blood sugar is 87.

Dear user, hi! you are welcome on this platform of HCM. if you are a diabetic with medicines, then your evening dose is less for you and morning dose is appropriate. if you are not on medicines, then your liver is producing more glucose overnight, and we call this as impaired fasting glucose, a state also known as prediabetes. you work and move around during day , so glucose is utilized and you find low sugars during day. you need to start treatment if still not on treatment. regards!
