It is your BG needs to be high. It can be in a few different ways and still be considered the DP.

1) Rising BG after a wake in the middle of the night where you check and you are running normal...needs to really have a significant rise
2) Significantly lower Insulin:Carb ratio for breakfast to cover highs that might occur
3) Rising BG after waking in the morning


Then there is the Somogyi effect which is a rise in BG from an overnight low where your body releases glucagon on it's own to cover the low. The only way to test for this is to wake in the middle of the night and find out what your BG is.

Diabetes is an Art, NOT a Science. You must master the control by skills and not by knowledge alone.
