Interesting take on it Anthony............
So you have trained your liver to not spit out excess amounts in the morning?
Going by your logic, to have plentiful amounts of glycogen [full liver store] and therefore result in a liberal response, you would need to have excess carbs and protein, yeah?
Having excess amounts of these wouldn't happen on a carb and protein restricted diet, would it?
your doing something right with those HbA1c results.........
@fairylights , when I was on injections and suffering from the Dawn Phenomenon I done a few things which helped most of the time......
I had a split basal injection which was taken immediately before bed and when I woke up, thus giving an overlap effect in the morning
I got up as early as possible and had a low GI carb with insulin and correction in order to get the digestive juices going and therefore tell the liver to stop
Some folk choose to have a slowly absorbed snack at bed time, like cheese or peanut butter so that digestion is still taking place into the small hours and so the liver will think its services are not required......
that's my interpretation of it, now on a pump, so can handle it much easier......
