Okay so I have self funded Freestyle Libre and understand what my numbers are doing but dont know how to correct?
My last HBAIC was 48 and slightly higher than I thought. Purchased the Libre and that showed over the first 14 days a predicted HBAIC of 44 but I realise this would not necessarily be the figure from my GP test.
However, ( and its a big however) my trends have thrown up a big question. If I exclude the information from 6 AM to 12 Noon, my HBAIC would be 38, whilst this 6 hour morning slot shows an HBAIC of 52.
As I have mentioned elsewhere I do not eat breakfast and even if I do it doesnt reduce my readings. I have tried the brazil nuts or peanut butter tricks to no avail.
But when I look at my readings for the rest of the day I have a very quick correction after all meals.
So my conclusion is that my readings that interact with my diet show that I have a suggested HBA1C of 38. But I appear to be insulin resistant but only in the morning. It is this morning slot that I need to conquer and have read everything about DP but it doesnt seem to fit.
So my question is how does one reduce insulin resistance that is only a factor for part of the day?
Given that there are at least a few people report seeing this - what I term Extended Dawn Phenomenon - I am now wondering if it is a fairly common thing but is only really demonstrated by a continuous BG trace from devices such as the Libre.
I wonder how many we need to have to get our own sub-forum!

My DP seems to follow my circadian rhythm. If I wake up an hour early and wee, nothing changes. It’s only when my alarm goes off and I really have to wake up.
