That is definitely the dawn phenomenon. And one way to control it is to eat. Basically you will continue to rise until you eat something so your body shuts down it's production of glucose. And when you eat something, you may need more insulin for your first meal of the day than any other meal of the day.

Diabetes is an Art, NOT a Science. You must master the control by skills and not by knowledge alone.
