Don't eat fruit at breakfast. Stick with an omelette.

Search out 'dawn phenomenon'. Some succeed with pre-bed snacks to treat a supposed Symogi Effect, but most just live with it. Insulin pumps treat them very well, but obviously you can't use one yet. Test your numbers some night and find out if you bottom out, 2am - 4am.
