[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 2100622, member: 480869"] Dawn phenomenon is a factor that can raise our morning fasting readings regardless of food intake. Fundamentally it’s our liver feeding us a glucose breakfast when it thinks we’re ready to get up and going and needing energy. Very helpful unless as a t2 we don’t respond properly and it keeps on rising beyond what’s helpful. This means that it’s typically the last reading to come into line and can take significantly longer than the rest of the day to do so. Months maybe years not days or weeks like the rest of the day potentially could. Ultimately low carb done correctly will show results if your pancreas is still kicking out insulin. (Most t2 has a huge amount at least initially). If it’s worn out and isn’t doing so at all or enough then it’ll help some but not solve the problem. The only way to know which yours is if you don’t get the results you want is to get it tested. I know if I ever get to the point insulin is recommended it’s because i don’t have my own rather than the dr is trying to overload me in order to force already high levels to work. [/QUOTE]
