[QUOTE="ianf0ster, post: 2317326, member: 506169"] Unfortunately there is little you can do to stop Dawn Phenomenon. Though Metformin can help if you can tolerate it because its main action is to cut the amount of Glucose produced by your liver.by a little. Otherwise you just need to be patient. It works like this: Your body is accustomed to quite high levels of Glucose in your blood and now this feels normal. So your liver is fighting to keep those levels high. Once your body starts to adjust to the fact that lower levels are not dangerous, your liver allows the BG levels to slowly drop. It can take years, but the good thing is that all that by cutting carbs all that time you are reducing the blood Glucose spikes which are thought to be actually worse ( or at least as bad) than a fairly constant raised level is.
