[QUOTE="catinahat, post: 2531751, member: 155453"] It's a difficult one to try and answer, there have been lots of ideas on how to combat it. Not eating late at night, eating a little protein like cheese before bed, eating some protein as soon as you wake, a few glasses of wine before bed. The only one that ever made any difference for me was the wine, and I think that's because your liver is so busy dealing with the alcohol it hasn't got time to do its usual job. And no matter how enjoyable I don't think its a very healthy thing to do every night. When the liver dumps some of its stored glucose into our blood, its just doing what it's evolved to do. I would have thought that the chances of us stopping it are pretty low. All we can really do is stop putting the sugar in, that coupled with a bit of fasting should eventually reduce the amount of stored glucose available and reduce the impact of the dawn phenomenon. Our fasting numbers are usually the last to come down, mine are still higher than I would like. All we can do is our best and hope it's good enough to keep us healthy. [/QUOTE]
