Hi.
I was diagnosed a year ago... obese and out of control for last six months. Last A1c was 7.8. Recently started low-carbing with exercise. Fasting glucose around 100-115... but early morning my 'dawn effect' is about 130-140.
I lost some sensation in my feet already, and I'm worried that even if I bring my fasting bg into normal range, my neuropathy will be sustained by the damned dawn effect.
Does the dawn effect diminish with prolonged low-carb diet, exercise, weight loss? Or do I need insulin to reverse the neuropathy?
