| I agree with rzrbks and harold. This high morning glucose does not necessarily mean that you need more lantus. It more likely means that you should eat breakfast! We all need energy in the mornings to help us go from a semi-comatose state of sleep to a wakeful one. If we don't provide our bodies with this energy, our bodies will do it on their own.
The liver stocks glucose in the form of glycogen for occasions exactly like this one. Under the influence of glucagon and some of the adrenal hormones, glycogen is released from the liver in the form of glucose, but of course, for those of us with diabetes, if there isn't enough insulin around to handle that glucose load, or if our cells are resistant to that glucose, the energy intended stays as glucose in the blood stream.
