Measuring blood glucose at 5 a.m. may have an effect on the detection of the Sumuje response and the dawn phenomenon. Dawn phenomenon refers to the control of blood glucose within the normal range at night, and the increase in fasting blood glucose in the early morning due to the secretion of glucagon around dawn in the absence of hypoglycemia at night. The Sumuje effect refers to the phenomenon of hypoglycemia at night and hyperglycemia in the early morning fasting.
