Hello everyone

A while ago, that I go to bed with the perfect glycemia, around 100-120, and thus remains throughout the night, until 5.00 that begins to rise until 7.30 that I get up with 230-280, without taking anything, or anything, is it when I get up, will it be the phenomenon of the dawn?Anyone happened to you?

Hello!You might need slower, if you put it in the morning.There are seasons to vary the dose a bit.

Sometimes it is solved by increasing slow unit .., or two .. I don't know if it will be your case.

Hi @gijonessugar1984!

What you describe has all the look of being the famous Phenomenon of Alba.It happens to many: glycemia remains stable during the night and begins to rise inexplicably just before waking us.It has to do with the release of certain hormones (such as cortisol and growth hormone) that increase insulin resistance at dawn.

Some ideas that you could comment with your endocrine:

  • Adjust slow insulin (as Regina and Rubioares have already said).Sometimes it is enough to increase one or two units or even change the administration time if you put it in the morning.
  • Assess a change of basal insulin type.There are some that cover those critical hours better.
  • Using a corrector bolus when you wake up, if your medical equipment sees it well and you are using pump or multiple doses.
  • Check the pull and patterns with the sensor, if you use one, to see that beak in more detail.


You are not alone with this!It is something very common and, although it costs to refine it, it can be improved.Thank you for sharing it, surely helps others detect the same.

And by the way, if you have not yet done so, I encourage you to take a look at the book to live with diabetes: the power of the online community.Talk just about these real experiences and how among all we can help us get it better.💙

A big hug and encouragement,
