[QUOTE="cugila, post: 97237, member: 15325"] THE DAWN PHENOMENON. Posted about it on here many times. Here is the link: [url=http://www.diabetes.co.uk/diabetes-forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=7885&hilit=+dawn+phenomenon#p73438]viewtopic.php?f=15&t=7885&hilit=+dawn+phenomenon#p73438[/url] Nocturnal hypoglycemia (low blood sugars), followed by morning hyperglycemia (high blood sugars) for several nights is an indication of the Somogyi effect. It may be necessary to get help from a doctor to resolve it, because most cases are the result of medications that are mismatched to the patient's needs. THE SOMEGI EFFECT Also known as “rebound hyperglycemia” and named after the physician who first described it, the Somogyi effect is a pattern of undetected hypoglycemia followed by hyperglycemia. Typically, this happens in the middle of the night, but can also occur when too much insulin is circulating in the system. The cause of the Somogyi effect is said to be “man-made”—that is, a result of insulin or diabetes pills working too strongly at the wrong time. During periods of hypoglycemia, the body releases hormones which cause a chain reaction to release stored glucose. The end result is that the glucose level can swing too high in the other direction, causing hyperglycemia. How can you test for the Somogyi effect? This is the fun part. Set your alarm and wake up between 2 and 3 a.m. and test your blood glucose. Low blood glucose levels could signify the Somogyi effect is in action. [/QUOTE]
