[QUOTE="SimonPK, post: 2030033, member: 504460"] Hi First-time poster... Hello everyone! I am a 49 year old T1 and for quite a few years I have been experiencing occasional but regular high BG in the morning (11-15). My BG is okay going to bed - around 8-10 and (when I do tests close together before bed) it seems to be falling slowly. Sometimes to counteract the fact that it will fall slowly overnight I take some carbs and other times I don't. But I can't quite get my head round why sometimes it is high with or without carbs. Occasionally I know that I am going low during the night (I have trouble getting to sleep and generally feel I am a little low but know that it is not serious and I just can't quite be bothered to get up - especially if it is cold!) and then I wake up a bit high. I understand why that is but there are plenty of nights when that is not the case I I still wake up with high BG. Sometimes I have drunk some alcohol and I factor that in but again there are plenty of times when that is not a factor. Overall my control is good but morning's confound me sometimes... I have read posts about the Dawn Phenomenon - if it is not low BG during the night causing the highs it must be that, right? I'd be interested to hear your opinions and what I can actually do about it. Thanks, Simon PS Cool forum - I'm learning a lot [/QUOTE]
