Blood glucose is raised by steroids.

Fasting high levels, are provided by the liver in response to the fast. People developing type II diabetes often have slowly increasing fasting levels, with fairly normal daily ones in the beginning.

your A1C level is a better predictor.

There used to be a saying..."you have to eat to keep your glucose under control"...

If you have a monitor, check 1hr after eating and 2 hrs after and see what you get. People with blood sugar problems don't usually do well with fasting.

Also working nights is hard on your body, and messes up your circadian rhythms.
