Being diagnosed Type 2 February of this year, my VA Doctor prescribed 1 metformin with breakfast daily & said my HG should be between 100 & 120 within a reasonable amount of time. It was 165 upon diagnosis. I've not been overweight & have dropped down to 158 lbs from 175. HG got in line after research showed me to get my carbs below 100 per day. Now I find my HG after fasting is at 145 to 150 each morning before meds & breakfast. I will see my doctor late July - is it time to increase dosage of metformin or am I concerned over nothing?
Thanks for any help, Jeff

First, let me say it's great to see you have such a positive attitude adjusting to your new diabetic lifestyle!
I too am a dawn effect diabetic and have struggled with this problem for years, until recently. My success comes from eating exactly 23 of those delicious goldfish crackers before I go to bed. I'm not a doctor, but the theory is eating a light carb snack before bed signals your liver to shut off while you sleep.
I have also added added raw vinegar marinated vegetables to my diet around 8pm. I have found this to also be helpful.
Everyone's body is different, so keep learning and testing!
Good Luck
