It's probably been happening to me for years but since using the Libre I noticed when and how high the dawn phenomonon takes me , it usually starts at about 4 am and when I test at about 6 am it's not unusual for me to get a reading over 10 , I then inject my 8 units of Trurapi and shower get dressed have my 20 g breakfast of toast and poached egg while I watch my bg go up to 13 - 14 , I then go for my usual 2 mile walk when it will still rise to even 15 , it then slowly drops and 2 hours later i'me in the normal zone , it's probably been doing this for years and I used to compensate the early morning highs with extra insulin and then fighting off the lows later on , with the finger pricks 6 - 10 times a day I never even noticed this was happening , I wondered if changing the timing of my Basel from morning to night might make a difference , I have increased the dose but that didn't make any difference , anyone gone through a similar experience any thought ideas would be much appreciated as it has started to get me down a bit .
