Cause of Dawn Phenomenon
- Our liver plays an important role managing blood sugar levels.
- Even while we are asleep and not eating, the liver releases small amounts of glucose into the blood to keep energy levels steady.
- In response, the pancreas releases the hormone insulin, which helps move glucose from the blood into the cells for energy or storage.
- In diabetic patients, body does not use insulin properly.
- As a result, body can not control the transportation of glucose released from liver early in the morning, causing high blood sugar levels.
By tracking your blood sugar and making small changes, you can improve your diabetes control.
