[QUOTE="finsit, post: 2381465, member: 536821"] Hi [USER=522683]@Lelliee[/USER] , there are couple of things i would add that might help based on my personal experience. 1. Metformin SR to be taken with the evening meal instead of morning meal because Met SR reaches to its peak at 7 hours as opposed to regular Metformin that reaches peak in 2-3 hours. Taking Metformin SR in the evening, will help you fight the dawn phenomenon. In fact Dr. Bernstein suggests Metformin to many T1 diabetics to combat DP. 2. I am assuming you have an early dinner, which should 3 hours before you sleep, ideally. One thing that will super-help you in this dawn phenomenon is 45 minutes bike/treadmil (if you have one at home) or if you can do a brisk walk 30-45 minutes like 2 hours of your dinner. 3. Make sure you have minimum carbs in the evening meal and have it more of protein. Because protein slowly releases into blood stream as sugar, your sugar levels don't poke the liver to dump more sugar. However, much of this has to do with insulin resistance as well. Its always trial and error as we all are different, but at the end something always works for everyone. If you try and it works, please share your feedback. Best of luck. [/QUOTE]
