[QUOTE="Member496333, post: 1980318"] Assuming regular sleep patterns - at some time around 04:00 - hormones (predominantly glucagon, but I believe also cortisol and others) signal the liver to begin secreting glucose into the bloodstream so that you have sufficient energy when you wake from sleep. This process is normal. However, as a type 2 diabetic your somewhat fatty liver will continue to release the glucose even when the pancreas begins ramping up insulin. In addition to this, your whole body is also insulin resistant and so will not deal optimally with the rising glucose.This is why dawn phenomenon is a real issue for T2DM. The process runs away with itself and usually will not stop unless you eat. DP is the greatest metabolic dysfunction to overcome in T2. Many people find success in mitigating the effects with meal timing, but in my experience the real solution lies only in returning natural insulin sensitivity through diet and exercise. [/QUOTE]
