This is the somogyi effect.. since wearing a CGM for nearly a month now, I've seen it happen to *me* exactly once, and it took a SEVERE hypo to trigger it, and the rise to high from low was very slow (entire process takes 4+ hours), and very linear. What tends to happen for me though, on nights where I've had more protein, is that my #'s hover in the mid-upper 100 range (like 160-190, even with repeated corrections, it never drops) then shoot up *rapidly* between 4-5am in the span of maybe 20-30 minutes to 300+, and come down slightly by morning... but without a correction I am almost always still at least 200 when I wake up (8am most mornings). The graphs for the two look very different.
