I believe that's exactly what I said.
Which makes feet on the floor something else. And that's what the question in this thread was about, bg rising upon waking up. TS doesn't have a problem with bg rising through the night, so no DP.
I believe that's exactly what I said.I assure you that my, and my other's DP happens on a schedule whether we are awake or asleep.
Check it out! I've been on it for one and a half year now and it makes things a lot easier for me.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.
You said 'usually' in a context which implied to me that you basically thought it happened when we were sleeping but fair if you did not.I believe that's exactly what I said.

My apologies if I sounded harsher than I felt, and thanks for the friendly rebuke!You said 'usually' in a context which implied to me that you basically thought it happened when we were sleeping but fair if you did not.
But I don't agree that it makes your described issue new or different. Not all DP problems show a rise over night. 'Dawn' can mean when we wake up. And I see you just...didn't react to the fact that I mentioned that the second spike upon waking still happens.
But whatever, I don't want to debate the issue as I don't think we are going to agree and I don't want to derail this person's post.
I assure you that my, and my other's DP happens on a schedule whether we are awake or asleep. Ten past five each morning is when it kicks in for me. Most of us then see another spike when we get up, feet on floor, so to speak. It is just different patterns of the same complication.
That looks more positive.An update - I woke up at 6.30am and was at 9mmol. I took a correction dose and enough to cover my breakfast. I stated in bed for about 10 mins then got out when my BG started to drop. I dropped 4 mmol in an hour and eat 1p slice of toast and 2 boiled eggs. My BS went up from 5.4 to 7.2 and stayed there for about 3 hours. I then took a correction which bought me down to 5.6 just in time for lunch.
That looks more positive.
A couple of questions (sorry, I don't mean to be like the little kid who asks "Why?" every time you explain something to him)
- is 9mmol/l a normal waking BG?
- if so, do you know if it is in response to the dawn part of Dawn Phenomenon or whether it was a longer term high(ish) value
- did you take any insulin for the slice of toast? I find eating something keeps me from rising further but I still need to bolus my usual ratios for it. And if my meal is very low carb, I also need to bolus for protein from the eggs.
My diabetes is pretty fickle so I have to repeat experiments multiple times to check the reaction was due to the food or insulin dose rather than the beer I had last night, the climbing session yesterday, the stressful meeting or the slight sniff.
Sorry but you have kind of contradicted yourself there...you said that DP happens on a schedule and always hits you at 5.10am each morning. As I said, I stay steady overnight then spike once I am out and moving around regardless of the time of day.
