[QUOTE="Nugget, post: 133255, member: 26543"] I've been having the same problem for 2-3 months now. It doesn't matter what I do or what my BG is before bedtime, when I wake up in the morning my BG is between 11 and 16, obviously not a good start to the day. I went to see my GP about this, explained that it is causing me a problem because I am having to correct my BG every day by taking a larger dose of insulin in the morning, not eat until my BG has started to drop, test at least 4 or 5 times day and manage hypos accordingly. My GP basically said that everything was ok because my last HbA1C test had been 6.9 and told me I was testing too much and that I should test once per day maximum :evil: ! I tried to explain that the reason the HbA1c was ok was because it probably only captured 2 or 3 weeks of the high morning readings and also because I was testing alot and correcting my BG. The upshot being I had to literally plead for some more test strips and received no advice about the high morning readings! Basically the GP said, nothing we can do, we'll just check your HbA1C again in 6 months. I walked out the GPs scratching my head. I guess I'm suffering from "the dawn phenomenom" but would appreciate some advice about how to get it sorted? I'm T1 ( 26 years) by the way, on Humulin S, 3 or 4 jabs in the day and 1 jab of Insulatard before bed. [/QUOTE]
