9:07 6.2
10:13 6.3

It shows the dawn phenomenon rise until the late morning, after which the BG starts coming down again. I inject 5 units of NPH before bed to deal with this effect. And it seems to be working quite well.  |
Wow...that's really interesting to see. I should try that. I really should. I'll just have to warn people at work that if I pass out it's b/c I didn't eat breakfast.
