Hi ,

This doesn't happen to me. My bg's are always below 100 fasting. If I wait

a couple hours before eating, there is very little change.

My BS will continue to rise in the morning until I eat something with a small

amount of carbs. After having this disease for 4 years, keeping records, and

trying just about everything, I still can't find or do anything that stops the

dawn rise. I have finally just accepted that that's how it is. What I do is

when I wake up I inject 12 units of Novolog and eat a small amount of carbs

<usually under 10> and it comes back down to normal within an hour. My morning

numbers, when I wake up, are anywhere between 145 and 175 <usually 175>. I

can't find any rhyme nor reason of what I did differently when it's 145 vs when

it's 175.

Something interesting....... I woke up at 3:30 this morning and couldn't get

back to sleep. I checked my numbers because I am seldom awake at that time. It

was 135. It was also 135 when I went to bed. So I know this dawn thing is

happening between 3:30AM and 7:00AM. That's nice to know, but I still don't

know how to remedy it unless I get up at 4:00 every morning and shoot insulin.

That doesn't sound practical so I will just continue doing what I am doing.
