[QUOTE="Peter_Sylvester, post: 1606345"] [B][U]LIBRE : Another little WIN..?[/U][/B] (2nd Nov 2017 - Day 8) So now my focus is on trying understand, and counteract, my susceptibility for the "Dawn Phenomenon". My Libre stats are showing that my waking hours increase my bloods to around 9.0, from an overnight average of around 6.5. When I then have breakfast, it "spikes" further, and has been as high as 14.5 (where is the panic button..?) Now, however, with the help of a little analysis from Libre, I have started to review my evening eating regime and timings, and assess the impacts of changing the timings of my breakfast. I have added a small oat biscuit cake to my evening bedtime regime, which seemed counter intuitive, but seems to work really well so far. [IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171102/039b088bcd73bf7b87e89206a626c873.jpg[/IMG] So after 2 days of experimentation, I have managed to take a good chunk out of the initial morning spike, reviewed the time that I take my Metformin, and amended my breakfast regime. [B][I]The bottom line result (so far after just 2 days) is that I have, for two days running, managed to avoid my (combined) morning spike exceeding 9.0 - with the result that the rest of my day has been easier to manage.[/I][/B] Still learning - still experimenting - and still moving forward...
