  Yes, it was measured first thing, and yes it was the 'Dawn Effect'.
Within 4 hours it would fall into the 'safe-zone'.

  At that time my diet was 100% protein/fat,  0 carbs.
I assumed (and Doctor shruggingly agreed) that it was probably my body fat being metabolized and raising my blood sugar.


It's probably the protein. Not eating fat should also feel horrible too, messing hormones etc.

Source: Pretty well known in keto epilepsy/cancer/psychiatry. I do epilepsy keto diet. Having high protein will increase glucose & lower ketones (tested blood many times with just 2 ingridients beef & beef fat). I aim for 80%-90% of calories from fat. Or 2 to 1 weight ratio of fat and protein/carbs.

For T2D you probably need just 60% fat calories though.
