Your body will make glucose if your levels go too low. The amaryl dose may have been too much for you after your change in diet and in the middle of the night you glucose may be going low and therefore you liver would produce glucose in response (ie higher am blood glucose). Amaryl does not slow down the liver production of glucose.

It is difficulty to know for sure, esp since the levels are looking better now. If this happens in the future try checking you glucose at approx 2am give or take and see how low it is.

The dawn effect can cause higher am glucose but doesnt tend to improve when medication is lowered. :cool:
