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.
