I, personally, find it helps especially if I've over done the carbs at one particular meal that day (usually dinner) I love nuts for this.
I hope this helps!

Hi there! This is likely a result of the dawn phenomenon, when blood sugar is boosted in the a.m. before you eat. Our members usually have good advice on this. One of them should stop by soon.

Here is an article that explains more: http://www.medhelp.org/diabetes/articles/Whats-the-Dawn-Phenomenon/1728

You can also find it in the Sugar Sense app (go to the bar menu in the upper left and select Health Guide, then scroll to the section Stay Well).
