If you are a diabetic and suffer from Dawn Phenomenon, treatment is a must! Whether you have Type 1 or type 2 diabetes, you can die from this phenomenon, if left untreated!
Dawn Phenomenon is the increase of your blood sugar during the bedtime hours of 2am to 8am. Regardless of what was eaten prior to bedtime, your glucose level rises from a stable sugar level over night to a high sugar level. (This is due to a release of certain types of hormones.)
It’s normal for these hormones to release during the early morning hours to help us wake up, but they might raise your blood sugar, if you do not have a proper insulin amount during dawn hours. I use an insulin pump and adjusted my basil insulin levels for my Dawn Phenomenon treatment.
Check your sugar levels in these early dawn hours (between 2am – 3am) for several days. When you wake up, your breakfast helps shut off these hormones and your blood sugar will finally lower. Make sure you eat breakfast in the morning.
Talk with your Endocrinologist Doctor (Diabetic Doctor) to see if the Dawn Phenomenon effects you!
