BEWARE THE DAWN PHENOMENON
The dawn phenomenon refers to a rise in blood sugar released by the liver. The release happens as the person's body is preparing to wake for the day.
The body normally uses insulin to cope with this rise in blood sugar. The body of a person with diabetes does not produce enough insulin, or it is unable to use the insulin properly.
As a result, the person will feel the effects of having high sugar levels in the blood.
These effects can include:
faintness nausea vomiting blurry vision weakness disorientation feeling tired extreme thirst
Managing blood sugar levels is important for people with diabetes.
A person whose blood sugar levels are regularly over 180 mg/dl should seek medical help, as this can lead to complications.
A combination of diet, exercise, and medication can often help keep the symptoms under control and prevent complications from developing.
In the case of dawn phenomenon, some additional changes may help prevent problems arising from the spike in blood sugar.
Some steps people with diabetes can take to manage the dawn phenomenon include:
talking to a doctor about changing or adjusting their medication eating regular meals taking all their medication doses avoiding carbohydrates around bedtime taking medication closer to bedtime rather than at dinner time eating dinner earlier in the evening doing some light physical activity after dinner, such as going for a walk, jogging, or yoga
If blood sugar levels are high from time to time, this is not too worrisome. However, if it occurs regularly, the person should speak to a doctor.
