When I am watching portion size, I risk having all kinds of low blood sugar effects first thing in the morning. they include waking up shaky and weak, hibernation style sleep, and dificulty maintaining core body temperature in the last hours of sleep.
I've had this both on low carb and diabetic diets, and have made it go away by having a middle of the night snack timed for about 3 hours before I need to wake up. I used to even set a snack alarm.
When I do this, I don't have any morning low blood sugar feeling, wake easier, and can even exercise before breakfast with no shakes and plenty of energy. My low carb version of the snack is 1 oz of nuts. My diabetic diet version of the snack was 1/2 of a power bar. Makes a world of difference !
