I actually am able to defeat dawn phenomenon, much of the time anyway, by taking one of my 3 daily metformin tablets when I wake up for the bathroom around 3 AM. Weird, but it works.

I've swithched my metformin to right before bed ( around midnight) and then I take the second one as soon as I wake up. High morning numbers are caused by dawn phenomenom. Our bodies produce hormones in the early morning hours that signal our live...

Hi, my name is Dot and I was diagnosed with Type 2 on May 26, 2009. On 2 grams of Metformin but so far my lowest bg has been 127. I'm probably easting too many carbs...before now I had never really counted vegetables (broccolli, green beans) as ca...
