True--if you wake up high. But if you wake up in normal range, then the possibility for DP has passed and any rise should be due to insufficient basal insulin.
But I did the after breakfast test for that reason (although I don't get really high morning readings for the most part)--ate around 9 am and not again until 3:30 pm and everything seemed steady.
