Insulin
8.9 at 2300 yesterday

That was after taking a higher dose of insulin last night when BG had been high all day. The extra kept my BG down until I got up (up to 8.9 an hour later) and I understand that there is a dawn phenomenon - I'm OK with that and I know that the liver dumps glycogen to push BG up sometimes, but what I don't know is if there is any harm done by the liver keeping on dumping. I can't take insulin, or Metformin unless I eat and I'm trying not to eat until noon at the earliest.

I haven't been able to find a thread that covers this. Can anyone point me to one?

Hello,
Sorry I can't answer your question but it might be better to write your own post so more people can see it and able to reply
Hope you get answers soon

Football; anything by Kylie Minogue, Madonna, Whitney Houston, any X-Factor/BGT winner, groups like Girls Aloud etc. (you get the picture); misuse of 'your', 'you're', 'their', 'there', etc.; the use of 'of' as an auxiliary verb; Facebook and Twitter (just what the hell is all this 'hashtag' stuff?); 'celebrities'; I could go on but I'm beginning to sound grumpier than I really am.
