[QUOTE="Stroudie, post: 1609702, member: 117960"] Hi Peter Glad it helped. Over the last 25 years I have tried to get good BG control by not eating after 8.00 pm until as long as possible the following day typically between 10.00 am and 1.00 pm ( a round of golf first thing really helps!) thus having 15/16 hours without food messing up my readings. The appearance and understanding of Dawn Phenomenon has been one big problem in achieving this. Now dexcom has sorted it for me. The only problem is waking between 4 and 6 am. The aging of my bladder has helped in this respect! While this long period without eating sounds bizarre to some people once you have done it for a week or two it becomes "normal" and the thought of breakfast is not appealing. Over 35 years I have managed HbA1cs of 6 to 6.5 using this method. I am now waiting for my next clinic to see if dexcom has led to any change. Amongst the benefits of dexcom is that I can see my results online day by day together with a forecast of my current HbA1c so at the end of this month I will find out how accurate this is. Incidentally I notice that one of the current fad diets is to compress your eating into a 6 - 8 hour period which may help to explain by reasonable BMI. Interesting to see how much Types 1 and 2 have in common. Cheers, Stroudie [/QUOTE]
