    Can blood glucose go up by itself in the morning?

    I tested my BG level this morning first thing after waking up and it was 4.2mmol/L (76 mg/dL). I have some LR3IGF-1 that got contaminated with some B12 awhile ago, so to test its potency with being a glucose disposal agent, I figured I would inject it and see whether I could go hypo from it as my BG was already low. I injected 100mcg of the stuff IM and tested about half an hour later. My BG was now 4.8 (86 mg/dL). I tested another half an hour later and its now 4.9 (88 mg/dL). How can BG go up by itself without me having consumed any carbohydrates? The only thing I can think of is liver glycogen being released maybe because of the IGF-1 or simply me moving around and instead of sleeping.... is this normal?

    glucose levles change often throughout the day but they shouldnt be going up in the morning if you havnt eaten anything. normal range is 4-7mmol/l before meals and less then 10mmol/l and hour and a half after meals. im not certain but i dont belive igf should raise your glucose levels either

    You can test within minutes and get discrepancies like the results you mentioned, mostly down to the accuracy of the testing equipment in my experience.
