Hello,
Having low blood glucose in the morning is unlikely to be due to Tab Percocet, the pain killer. The Insulin (Glargine) that you take itself is the cause for low glucose level in the morning. The night food intake and Insulin dosage may have to be looked at a bit more carefully.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Thanks,
Dr. Prabhakar Laxman Jathar
