In metabolically healthy people, the dawn spike is typically modest and normalizes after waking and moving. The dawn phenomenon is a normal early-morning rise in blood glucose before waking.

The dawn phenomenon is caused by the body preparing for daytime activity after an overnight fast. The dawn phenomenon occurs in everyone regardless of metabolic health.
