Hi I am RV 54 years of age Male. I was detected with Type 2 Diabetes in July 2019. Since then I changed my diet, increased exercise, took care of sound sleep & stress and took Metformin 500 mg once at night. My type 2 diabetes has reversed and since July 2022 I have stopped Metformin 500 mg of my own as my sugar levels well drastically falling. I am still on restricted diet.I have got blood tests done every 3 months ( last done in June 2023 ) and except for Fasting Sugar, all results are perfect. My Fasting Sugar is in the range of 100 to 109. I know that I am suffering from Down Phenomena. I would be extremely grateful for your expert advice to bring the Fasting Sugar in the target range of 80 to 90 mg/dl.

Ans: If you are experiencing Dawn Phenomena, make sure to monitor your blood sugar levels especially in the evening. Eat dinner earlier in the evening and avoid late night high carb snacks. You can consume a high-fiber low-fat snack before bed to prevent the dawn phenomena. Almonds with plain or turmeric milk, nuts, milk with basil seeds are some examples. These items will control the blood sugar and keep your liver from overproducing glucose.
