[QUOTE="joracine, post: 527852, member: 106192"] I'm newly diagnosed (probably LADA / 1.5) and my big discovery is consistent with yours. I now systematically eat omelettes (or variation on the theme, such as scrambles, etc.) and switched to a rather low carbs diet (probably ~50g/day). This has made wonders for me. I avoid all carbs, particularly grains and pastas (gluten is also associated with diabetes development, according to my readings), except for vegetables, which I don't count. I have a high protein/high fat diet. From my reading on the dawn phenomenon, the essential conclusion is to take your basal insulin at night time, assuming you do take insulin. And reducing carbs essentially reduces your insulin production in general and for type 1.5/2, often gives a break to your pancreas, hence giving it the ability to better counter the nightly BG rise by producing insulin then, rather than through the day. Fat does raise glucose, but much more slowly and much less and is therefore much more manageable. All personal experience - I'm no doctor, take advice at your own risk. [/QUOTE]
