Answer:
In addition, the liver releases glucose during times of fasting (between meals and over night). In people with Type 2 diabetes, the liver releases too much.
For some people, having some protein or healthy fat with about 15 grams of carbohydrate before bed helps keep the morning fasting numbers in target range. Try having a small amount of peanut butter on a piece of whole grain bread or 1 oz of low-fat cheese and a small apple.
