Reduce the dose of night time insulin .its a reaction in which when you have hypoglycemia in midnight ,body reacts and increases the chemicals which can further raise your sugar in the morning. Provide more details. The type of insulin and other oral hypoglycemic agents you take and your HBA1c level.
