I would not expect Fiasp to help with Dawn Phenomenon. Your liver will still dump glucose.
I agree with @Fairygodmother about trying to eat something - your BG is going up because your liver thinks it needs to add sugar to your blood .. because you are not dong so with food.
Another tack is to think about your basal?
When do you take it? If you take it in the morning, it is possible it is running out.
Some Basal insulins are longer lasting with a flatter profile so may help.
Works a charm for me! On novorapid I took a dose before getting out of bed when waking with normal numbers, and my bg would shoot up to 11 before the insulin kicked in. On fiasp I usually hardly notice a bump on my Libre graphI would not expect Fiasp to help with Dawn Phenomenon. Your liver will still dump glucose.
Cheese usually works very well for me alsoSome people say they find having something to eat first thing, e.g. a couple of spoons of yoghurt or a bit of cheese, lets the liver know it doesn’t have to dump. Worth a try?
It's not Dawn Phenomenon as I'm steady overnight and dont start going up until I'm out of bed and moving.
That's classic DP - just because it isn't happening as the sun is rising, doesn't mean it isn't the same thing
As far as I understand the 'classic' one happens every night at around the same time, whereas 'feet on the floor effect' happens upon getting up.That's classic DP - just because it isn't happening as the sun is rising, doesn't mean it isn't the same thing
It definitely isn't DP. I could get up at 6am or 10am and my levels will be steady and low. It only happens when I start moving.
And your liver is noticing that and throwing glucose at you. Like I said, classic DP.
DP starts around the early hours of the morning, which is why people wake up with high BS. I dont have high numbers in the morning, quite the opposite sometimes.
It doesn't really matter what you want to call it, the problem is still the same - the liver throwing glucose at you as it detects you're doing stuff.
Yeah, DP is a bad name for it because then people who have it, like you, think you don't.
The difference is that DP at a certain time of night usually happens while sleeping, so it's impossible to do something about it unless on a pump or willing to wake up to inject for it.And your liver is noticing that and throwing glucose at you. Like I said, classic DP.

Feet on the floor, however, is glucose being dumped into your bloodstream upon waking up. To my thinking it doesn't matter if it's my liver dumping the glucose or my food dumping the glucose through carbs, either way I need insulin to process this glucose. With feet on the floor we are awake when the glucose enters our bloodstream (as opposed to a liver dump when asleep) so we can inject to use that glucose. Just like non-D's have a liver dump to get them going for the day with the accompanying insulin from their pancreas.
The main difference is that injected insulin just doesn't work as quick as insulin from our pancreas (pre-bolusing for food, anyone? The pancreas doesn't need that!), enter Fiasp. For some of us. It doesn't seem to work equally good for all of us.
This may sound stupid, but I have been turning my brain to yogurt trying to work out what ‘Fiasp’ means! Someone please put me out of my misery!
Just googled it. So it’s a new kind of ultrafast insulin! I could do with it because I have exactly the same issue as Indy1282.This may sound stupid, but I have been turning my brain to yogurt trying to work out what ‘Fiasp’ means! Someone please put me out of my misery!
