Morning team!
6.6 this am.. Uggh.. Now that I've stopped my Lantus my 'Dawn P' is back in full swing.. But again, DawnP is a 'human natural reaction' to the cortisol squirt we all get that's intended to wake us in the am.It's just we D's have no (T1) to poor (T2) First phase insulin responses to bring the BG level down - hence - what Ds call 'Dawn Phenomenon' [The reality is 'all' humans have this 'rise in am BG levels' - it's only a 'phenomenon' with Ds because of the no to poor 1st phase ins resp].
I guess I'll just need to take a unit of Novalog in the am even before breakfast to adjust for it. That's okay. Fasting numbers the rest of the day are between 5 and 5.5 which suits me FINE!!!
