A member asked:
What is dawn phenomena....
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Let me explain: Dawn phenomenon is a normal early-morning rise in glucose (blood sugar) that occurs before or shortly after waking. Everybody experiences this physiological phenomenon, but it can be troublesome for people with diabetes. Such people may need to adjust their treatment regimen to account for dawn phenomenon.

Diabetes: This is a tendency to a high blood glucose early in the morning 2 am to 8 am. Some say it's from hormones that raise glucose such as cortisol, epinephrine, and growth hormone; your physician may restructure your medications to deal with this.
