[QUOTE="ChrisWoodward, post: 554782, member: 106875"] Thanks for all the responses everyone, I didnt explain myself very well though I dont think. My carb ratio in the morning is fine, these highs are before I eat breakfast, my pre and post meal BG's are fine in the morning after my corrective dose has brought down my BG. I actually have had a CGM on in the past which is what first showed this dawn phenomenon, the reason why it cannot be treated is out of the 14 days I had it on I got dawn phenomenon 10 out of the 14 days but the other days were fine so increasing my basal further over night is not possible because it would cause me to have major lows on the days that I dont wake up high. I keep a diary of everything I do and even my DSN struggled to see a pattern in these highs which is why I am frustrated because not only does my carb ratio change by the time of the day which is fairly normal my ratio changes sporadically day to day without any patterns in it, hence why I cant see how the pump is going to help apart from not having to take injections which is a welcome break because I have literally no fat on my stomach but apart from that I cant really see the benefit. I will keep on it though for 6 months but I think if I can see an improvement it will be back to pens for me. [/QUOTE]
