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.

Silicon has four valence electrons. Silicon is element 14 in the Periodic Table. It has two electrons in its first shell, eight electrons in the second shell, and four electrons in the third shell. Since the electrons in the third shell are the outermost electrons, silicon has four valence electrons. The video below shows how to use the Periodic Table to determine the number of valence electrons in silicon.
