User:Blood Sugar Ultra Review Tab
In the early morning hours, from 4am to 8am, there is a Blood Sugar Ultra sharp rise in your blood sugar levels. The mechanism involved in the dawn phenomenon is the surge of growth hormone starting at approximately midnight, followed up by the other hormones: which raise your blood sugar levels. These hormones are fast and powerful elevators of your blood sugars, often causing then to overshoot, making your levels too high. These hormones act in response to an earlier drop in your blood sugars due to high insulin in your bloodstream.
Your body responds by releasing these insulin antagonists ... cortisol and epinephrine (adrenaline) from the adrenal glands, growth hormone from your pituitary gland and glucagon from you pancreas. These antagonists cause more sugar to be released and insulin to be deactivated, hence your high blood sugar levels at dawn. This is presumably to prepare your body for a new day after long hours of fasting.
Non-diabetics can cope with this, but when you have type 2 diabetes your liver does not respond so well to insulin and your blood sugars can be very high in the early morning. This does not occur in all type 2 diabetics though, but it is a good idea for you to check your blood sugars before bedtime and again in the morning, from perhaps 6:30am to 7:00am.
