But let's explore some ways we can understand blood sugar readings in the morning and how we can gain better control. One of the most common causes of high morning blood sugars is excess glucose production from the liver. Our bodies were built with some internal mechanisms for creating balance.

The total number of nucleons - protons and neutrons - in the nucleus of an atom is called the Mass Number. For example, the most common isotope of fluorine has an atomic number of 9 and a mass number of 19. The atomic number tells us there are 9 protons in the nucleus (and also 9 electrons in the shells surrounding the nucleus). The mass number tells us the nucleus contains 19 particles in total. Since 9 of these are protons, the other 10 are neutrons. We call it the mass number because virtually all the mass in an atom comes from the protons and neutrons - electrons weigh about 1/2000th of the mass of a proton or neutron.
