I was assuming massive dawn phenomena but after a chat with my dietitian I think that cheese snacks in the evening may have been the culprit. She claimed that the fat in the cheese increases insulin resistance. ( I'd been assuming that I didn't need to count it after reading all the LCHF stuff on here for T2s).  And here's an interesting article from Dr Google.<a href="https://www.joslin.org/dietary-fat-can-affect-insulin-requirements-in-type-1-diabetes.html" target="_blank">https://www.joslin.org/dietary-fat-can-affect-insulin-requirements-in-type-1-diabetes.html</a>A week after my visit I've cut the evening cheese snacks and my morning bloods are back in single figures. I've also lowered my basal....Am left puzzled because cheese seems to be fine for T2s but maybe not so good for T1s?   Not so sure where that leaves me if I want to go LCHF other than to maybe carb count for the protein in the cheese.... (And I really don't want to start counting for protein.)</blockquote>
