Hey Kelley,

My BS is high every morning, (130-150) runs low and level all night until about 5am and then keeps raising until I eat. If I don't eat until 11am or so, I could be at 190+. If I eat at 7am (still only about 8 carbs) I can be down to around 120-130 2 hours after breakfast. Unfortunately, this is fairly common, it's called Dawn Phenomenon. Your liver dumps glucose to cover what it thinks your body will need when you get up for the day. There is a lot of information on this site, as well as others. One with a definition is The 'dawn phenomenon': What causes it? - MayoClinic.com

From your readings, not much chance you are not diabetic, but you could be type 1 or 1.5. There are lots of threads on these topics too. Good Luck!
