Expert highlights six main causes of high morning blood sugar

Diabetes specialist Dr. Abdulrahman Bukhari has identified six main reasons for elevated blood sugar levels in the morning before breakfast.

In a post on his account on the X platform, he explained that these causes include:

1 - The body's production of sugar by the liver, kidneys, or muscles to generate energy

2 - The natural release of certain hormones that counteract insulin, typically between 4 a.m. and 8 a.m.

3 - Psychological factors such as stress, anxiety, or depression

4 - Insomnia or sleep disturbances

5 - Illness or health setbacks

6 - An insufficient dose of long-acting insulin
