First thing I thought of was the Dawn Phenom, too. Pretty common, and as long as everything else is ok, especially the A1C, I wouldn't worry about it too much. If it is 'just' the Dawn Phenomenon, try taking your blood sugar when you wake up and then 30-to-60 minutes later (still before eating) and see if it's still high or if that morning spike really is just a spike and has settled down just by being awake for a while.
If it stays high, you could try eating fewer carbs at your night meal and avoid sugar-alcohols (the ones the nutrition labels subtract out to get 'net carbs') because they still *are* carbs, and for me, they digest slowly but add up over the day and cause a blood sugar spike many hours later.
Let us know what you try and how it works out!
I went to the Joslin Clinic when I first learned that I had type 2. There we were told to only have 15 grams of carbs at each meal; try that and see what happens.
I, too, suffer from a high morning reading. It's very frustrating, I know. I have been told by my doctor that I may have what is called the Dawn Phenomenon. It harkens back to the olden days when the body provided a little extra boost to help you hunt down that wildebeast for breakfast. Nowadays, we don't need that extra boost, but the body doesn't know that. It still gives you a little "extra" in the mornings sometimes. I've been doing research into it, and so far, there's no real answer or cure. Some people have benefitted by eating a protein snack late before bed. Didn't work for me. Some people eat carbs (complex) before bed or a Nite Bite bar. I haven't tried that. Some people swear by eating a granny smith apple (I hate those), or by taking Apple Cider Vinegar tablets. I didn't want to pay the $9 for the tablets, so tried to take two tablespoons of actual cider vinegar. Did a real funky hilarious dance all around the kitchen because of the taste. Didn't seem to help much either. So I went BACK to the doctor, who now tells me that I may have sleep apnea (apparently getting a good night's rest is important to keeping blood sugar level - who knew?), and is sending me for a sleep study in the next month. Try any (or all) of these and hopefully one will work for you.
morning sugars should be somewhere between 70 and 100. Are you eating a snack before going to bed. That could be it. Also could be that you need medication just at night. You should talk to your doctor. Good Luck.
