Dawn Phenomenon

Dawn Phenomenon is a natural increase in blood sugar levels that occurs early in the morning, often before waking up. During the night, the body releases hormones like cortisol and growth hormone, which make the liver produce more glucose (sugar). This process is part of the body's way to prepare for the day. However, in people with diabetes, especially those with insulin resistance, this rise can lead to higher blood sugar levels upon waking. Managing Dawn Phenomenon may involve medication, adjusting meal timing, or other strategies advised by a healthcare professional to keep blood sugar stable.
