[QUOTE="kitedoc, post: 2030537, member: 468714"] Hi [USER=65903]@stuffedolive[/USER], Well done on such a healthy lifestyle !! I wonder what you meant by LCHF diet? How many carbs per day? And if you go to the Home Page, question box upper right and type in Dawn phenomenon, you will see what the latest theory on it is. I test as a T1D for DP starting at about 4 am, hourly til breakfast. That lets me know if there is any BSL rise to abnormal levels not adequately covered by my insulin. I am assuming in T2D insulin resistance may do similarly in not necessarily allowing your BSL to be fully controlled. Something for your GP or specialist to opine upon !. You also mention checking BSLs after food but not the timing so it is difficult to know how they compare to the acceptable range of BSLs. Review of the Home Page, Living with Diabetes, and far left - Blood sugar ranges shows the ">90minutes after food" BSLs.. As others have said HBA1C gives a viewpoint on the last 3 months of BSLs. You need to ask your GP or specialist what is the acceptable HBA1C range for you. On the Home page ther HBA1C level talked about is 48 mmol/l, but one has to wonder who make up this figure and why. It is not a non-diabetic level. And the American Diabetes Society have tended to dominate the discussion on what the HBAiC levels should be and the argument has never sounded thoroughly scientific to me. But that is just my viewpoint If your HBA1C is above acceptable range this might suggest there are departures from normal BSLs, which are telling - such as ? fasting levels and after food levels. Your doctor or nurse would need to help you decide on appropriate action from there !! Best Wishes. [/QUOTE]
