A member asked:
Why is my morning glucose higher than my night one (when i go to bed)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Because: Your liver pumps out glucose during the night to sustain you while you're not eating. This is blocked partially by metformin, which keeps your sugar from rising significantly overnight. This is why you do not want to eat at bedtime.
