Blood glucose was 78 4 hours after dinner. went to bed and it was 86 this morning. how did it go to without eating or drinking all night?

Your blood sugar is in a dynamic balance between the factors that add to it like eating, or when the body uses stores in your liver to bring it up during fasting. Both values are in the normal range. The liver stores available material like you store supplies on a shelf. Your metabolism decides when to put sugar into stores or release it to keep you in balance.
