[QUOTE="AlcalaBob, post: 1655758, member: 30529"] The dawn phenomenon is quite common and it's where the liver dumps glucose because it reacts to a fall in blood glucose early in the morning. But it's a consequence of the abnormal metabolism of the liver when it has excess fatty deposits. As the ND takes effect, the fats in the liver will fall dramatically and it will then recover some insulin sensitivity so it won't react in the same way. So there's every reason to expect that the dawn phenomenon will lessen and even stop altogether. I had exactly that experience in the first four or five days of the ND. [/QUOTE]
