Very very interesting indeed... I see that I suffer more of Somogyi Efect rather then the Dawn Phenomenon
...
If I don't eat something before going to bed (on Lantus 28u, sometimes 30u) I wake up on lows and in the mornings is veeery up ... mainly over 250... If I reduce the Lantus, is not enough for the rest of the day... I tried with 26, but, woke up with a good BG but in the afternoon was almost 300... I can reduce it with Novorapid but I am feeling more comfortable with the Lantus acting in background
Dawn Phenomenon doesn't apply to me
... if I have around 2 o'clock in the night 150 BG, in the morning is bellow 100... it's normal... I usually eat in the morning around 10-20 carbo (usually fruits or a small sandwich or both) without taking insulin at all... at noon is alway around 120-130.
Anyway I am so sleepy that I think that neither my liver or muscles are woke up
... they woke up around noon (like me, of course
)
