Dawn phenomenon is an oft discussed topic on the forum. Over the last couple of months I've been observing my readings on the Libre and have noticed a pattern relating to DP.
When I eat a carby snack before bed, I tend to see noticeably larger DP than when I eat nothing or a more protein or fat based snack. Even though my bg will remain similarly flat throughout my sleeping period, the different pre bed food types tend to result in different am results.
It's not 100% consistent and there are likely to be more factors to consider, but I wonder if anyone else has seen this?
