"This Dawn Phenomenon is related to Diabetes?"
Yes and no. In non-diabetics some researchers believe it's due to the natural overnight release of stored glucose by the liver and the release of hormones — including growth hormones, cortisol, glucagon and epinephrine — that increase insulin resistance.
In diabetics the morning glucose levels are substantially elevated. Again, some researchers believe this is caused by insufficient insulin the night before, incorrect medication dosages or eating carbohydrate snacks at bedtime.
"And am I considered pre-diabetec/diabetec?"
Currently I would say no, neither one. But keep an eye on your DP if it starts to creep up on you you'll need to take preventive measures as if you were a diabetic.
Thanks WaveRider for the information.
This Dawn Phenomenon is related to Diabetes? I mean I have it now because I am diabetecs or even before I get Diabetes?
And am I considered pre-diabetec/diabetec?
Thanks a lot for your time.

What you are experiencing is called Dawn Phenomenon and is quite normal in humans. During the night while sleeping your liver stores glucose [blood sugar] then releases glucose in anticipation of the energy needed upon awakening. To help prevent DP one can stop eating/snacking 2-3 hours b4 bedtime and also reduce carb intake at nightly meals. If you have the urge to munch, munch on something like nuts, or wheat/fiber crackers, or something that will not raise your glucose levels. All else considered, you are fine/normal. Keep up the healthy lifestyle, it does your body good.
Correction:
The 2-hour postprandial is something like 134 or sometimes less.
