I fought with it for a couple of years, usually started at 4 am, but somedays not at all , other days at 5 am, it was very inconsistent. A few years back, I talked a doctor into putting me on metformin ( 500mg in the morning and 500mg at 5 pm) and it reduced the variability of it so now it usually only happens 30 minutes after I get up. Just be careful of going low in the night if you take too much insulin and try and find out exactly when it starts if possible.
