I'd like to know that too.  I believe I've read that it's something that 
all people experience, but presents a problem for diabetics and 
pre-diabetics (i.e., anyone with impaired glucose metabolism), but I 
can't remember where I read it.  So I could be imagining that I read 
it.  It does make sense, however, from an evolutionary standpoint, that 
this would be part of our circadian rhythm: a morning surge of glucose 
so that the brain is sharp upon awakening and the muscles are ready for 
action.
