[QUOTE="Dillinger, post: 790510, member: 13582"] Your liver releases glucagon (and other hormones) which raise your blood sugar in the morning as part of your normal waking up process. Alas as diabetics we aren't able to properly respond to that blood sugar bump. This is called the 'Dawn Phenomenon' and it affects people in different ways. As a Type 1 I can inject insulin to deal with it. Hopefully Type 2's can give you some tips for dealing with it as a Type 2. Probably the best thing to do would be not to have much carbs in your breakfast. There are no stupid questions only stupid answers. Best Dillinger [/QUOTE]
