Guest guest Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 What is this thing called the dawn phenomena? RE: Sugar, , I am only a couple of months into this mess of a disease, but I am not sure basing anything on a morning reading is going to be accurate. Everyone is different, but even in me, no matter how good or how bad I have done the day and evening before does not seem to give me a consistent reading in the morning. Last night my reading was 101; this morning it was 131. Go figure! I'm right there with you, brother. Some day it will make some sense to some one else...

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 , You could be having what is called " the dawn effect " . Most of us, including non-diabetics, have therir BGs go up early in the morning to get the body ready for awaking. With diabetics, you need medication that will kick in in the morning so your sugars won't get too high.
