[QUOTE="tommytangent, post: 1374905, member: 371235"] I had the same circadian rhythm/dawn phenomenon issue. I was doing my full basal (levemir) in the morning. By splitting me basal into 2 injections, before bed and before breakfast, helped lower the impact. My BS now creeps up a bit before bedtime and when I have a lie in, but not so much as to be bad. On the subject of pre-breakfast run, I find it accelerates what would otherwise happen. In other words, if I haven't had any insulin or food my sugars rise... and quickly! If I have had insulin+food both drop in quick, which can leave me a bit low mid-morning. If I want to run on an empty stomach I always do the morning basal beforehand. I might put a very small corrective bolus in if I wake high, but take care because this also drops in very quick when running. I firmly believe running on a high BS damages your bones so I try to avoid this. [/QUOTE]
