If it bothers you that much ask your doc for a vial of insulin and take a shot to bring the BS down.
But, frankly I run about 130 in the morning too and my A1C is usually around 6.0.

Some here take evening NPH shots at night for this purpose. You have to be careful about bottoming out in the night. A little rapid at breakfast may help some, but my DP kicks in around 5am.

Late night protein or alcohol are worth a try. They do work for some. I'm not one of them.
