A1c 4.9 low carb diet glucose test passed but get dawn phenomenon of 110 or so why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Morning sugar: Your morning sugar can rise due to stress hormone cortisol, which could be activated by activity in dreams. Also Progesterone can cause a slight increase in sugar. Your a1c implies you are not diabetic or even prediabetic.

Fit 35yr, generally eat low carb/sugar, but not keto. Fasting blood glucose has been slightly above 100 on 2 consecutive tests (102 and 105) but A1c is only 4.4 (4.2 lower limit of reference range). Diabetes possible, or ruled out by A1c levels?
