Still keeping an eye on that “Dawn Phenomenon”

October 11th, 2007 by Chris S

Ok, first off I want to thank Scott for the great advice.  I really appreciate it.  The thing is, I just bought for my first grill recently because of getting my first apartment.  So steak, chicken, hot dogs, and burgers have been my main meals.  I grilled out just about every night back at home in Pennsylvania, then I came down here and I grilled maybe once or twice in two years.  Now that I have the grill, its all I want to do.

So, because of Scott’s advice, I tried to lay off of the grilled food last night.  I tried the veggie meal.  Some nice veggie lasagna.  It probably was not as good as it would be from someone who actually knows how to make it, but anyway thats besides the point.  So here is the important part.

Pre-meal blood sugar level at about 7:30 was 144.  An hour after eating it was at 176.  I had a quick little snack, it was a high fiber snack, I couldn’t resist.  At around midnight I tested again and my blood sugar was 210, “How is that so?” Ok, so I will set the alarm for 3:30 a.m.  After getting my senses together once the alarm went off, I put the blood on the strip, and…….. 290!!  I was so tired, I calculated the insulin amount I needed and took the correction.  I woke up and was 114 at 7:30 a.m.

So, once again I’m back to asking myself, “What the hell is going on at night?”  Even though I barely get a good night’s sleep now as it is, I will have to continually start to test throughout the night for several weeks until I figure this thing out.

Once again, thank you Scott for your advice, I’m open to all the help possible.
