I noticed the same thing with my morning levels after using a cgm. I moved my long acting from first thing in the morning to lunch time and it fixed the issue. I Still get a rise when I get out of bed but I stay in the green zone most mornings now.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 .
Same here ....was on split dose and they suggested a third one hadn't I switched to the pump. Since then I will never go back. I couldn't get my HBA1C under 9 now it's 6.8 which I'm pretty happy withHi,
If you still read it. I had similar problems as yours.
I have tried everything from single Basal lantus, split Basal lantus,(improving a little bit) other Basal insulin. But finally switched to a pump. After some testing, try's (~2 month for obtaining the right basal-profile (pump inject every 5mn a small dose of insulin) I finally got my strong dawn effect perfecty under control.
I have never regretted since to switch to a pump. Improved Hba1c by ~20% and have only libre 2 andɓ one remote control for Bolus injection and predefined Basal.
Hi ,being type 1 for 40 years now, with a pump for 35 of those years , 2 years ago the DP started even with freestyle since 2017 , never had nor heard of DP before.I saw my consultant last week " himself a type 1 of 49 years " and he said he sets his Libre alarm to a high of 8 and if it wakes him during the night he gives himself 1 unit of bolus and it seems to sort out the DP , I have tried it all this week and so far so good .
I’m not an expert on alcohol becuase I don’t drink it, but I do know that it lowers blood glucose. (that’s the main reason I don’t drink it; nearly fifty years ago at diagnosis I decided it would be yet another variable I didn’t want to have to deal with) So if you were having sugar free stuff then that might be why you were staying a bit lower then. I don’t know enough be able to relate it to the DP.My Basel is Semglee but recently changed back to Lantus due to a shortage , my night time Libre chart can be around 5 - 6 when I go to bed at 10 - 11 o clock and will stay there until 3 - 4 am when it starts to rise up to about 10 and rises obviously without me eating anything at that time of night and then rises more even though I have injected and peeks at about 10 am then will drop depending on what activity i'me doing ,this morning it dropped like a stone when I cut the grass and needed the jelly babies to stop the low , I think my liver must be wired up wrong and is dumping to much glucose into my system , it seems odd but it seems to be getting worse since I gave up alcohol 3 months ago .
I think the comparison was with Lantus which lasts less than 24 hours.I thought tresiba was supposed to last 42 hours?
I do the same but set my libre alarm a little higher at 9.5 and take one or two units of bolus if it goes off during the dark hours. I also sometimes get the DP around 8am and take a couple of units of bolus to halt further increases. I then have a shower and take my breakfast dose of bolus at 8.30am and monitor my BG on my Libre until it drops to 6 and then eat breakfast, always a medium GI cereal. If my BS then begins to rise quickly I jump on my rowing machine and do 6 minutes (equivalent to 1 km) hard rowing which brings my BS down to a steady 5 to 8 until lunch. If its not raining (I live in the Scottish highlands on the west coast) I will go for a steady 2 mile walk instead of rowing, which also works for me.I saw my consultant last week " himself a type 1 of 49 years " and he said he sets his Libre alarm to a high of 8 and if it wakes him during the night he gives himself 1 unit of bolus and it seems to sort out the DP , I have tried it all this week and so far so good .
