Guest guest Posted February 9, 2000 Report Share Posted February 9, 2000 >Question #2 I took my fasting this morning and it was 116. Got ready to go to the lab to get blood work done, fasting A1c and all that. So at 7:00 it was 116, than at the lab I took my meter and checked it and it was 136.> Debby, that's the Dawn Phenomonen (sp?) and it's your body's way of preparing for the day. Our bg's are lowest in the middle of the night, and then the bg's rise to get ready for the day and stop rising around 10:30 am. Many people on insulin take insulin when they arise to control this Dawn Effect. Barb -------------- RAINBOW FARM UNLTD.
