Hi .......I am recently been told I now have full blown Type 2 after being insulin resistant/ pre diabetic for a few years.I am on metformin 2x5oo which doesn't seem to cause any problems.I have a high reading first thing in the morning but this goes down after breakfast when I would have thought it would go up !!!
Can Dawn phenomina affect a type 2 ?

Acceptance of health treatment claims that are not adequately supported by evidence. I dislike it when people sell ineffective and even harmful alternative health products to exploit the desperation of people with chronic illness.
Hi and welcome. Yes, DP can affect T2s. Usual advice is to have a snack before bed, to fool the liver into thinking it's not starving overnight.

Its also a good idea to make sure your FBG is done as soon as you wake up as even getting up and fluffing about for 5-10 minutes before testing can affect BS.
