[QUOTE="Charles Robin, post: 573054, member: 92241"] Dawn phenomenon is something that usually affects my blood sugars quite a lot. I find that if I exercise in the morning, I need a couple of extra units of Lispro, or I am consigned to the 10s and 11s at least. However, the last couple of nights I have shared a bottle of wine with my wife. On waking yesterday, my blood sugars were 3.6. I had a dextrose tablet and breakfast as usual, giving my normal dose. I waited an hour and went cycling. Twenty minutes in I felt very strange. I stopped and tested my blood, and I was 1.7! This morning I had a bit more glucose, and a bit less Lispro. Blood sugars still went down to 2.9. It seems that wine really does turn off my liver. SO, getting round to my question now :). How do other people cope with Dawn Phenomenon, and does anyone manage to nullify it? (Very important side note, I am NOT advocating having a glass of wine each night before bed :p). [/QUOTE]
