Sometimes the liver makes some extra glucose in response to fasting, especially in response to lower sugar levels overnight. The ‘Dawn Phenomenon’ combined with the body not(?) being totally used to fasting can cause it - no need to get too riled. See what happens in the future.

Also sometimes when stored fat is burned as fuel it releases the glucose that’s been stuck within it.
