Type 1 DM with morning hyperglycemia

Type 1 DM on insulin with high morning glucose, possible cause?

1. Dawn effect: not enough insulin
soln:
Increase dose or add a bedtime NPH

2. Somogyi phenomenon: Too much insulin leading to hypoglycemia leading to counterregulatory hormones secretion leading to hyperglycemia
soln:
Decrease the amount of night insulin

So, mgt approach:
Assume Somogyi effect until proven otherwise
DO NOT INCREASE INSULIN UNTIL SOMOGYI HAS BEEN RULED OUT. SEVERE NOCTURNAL HYPOGLYCEMIA MAY OCCUR


Best initial step is to Check sugar at 3am for some nights to differentiate.

Somogyi phenomenon:    There's 3am hypoglycemia
Dawn effect:                     No 3am hypoglycemia

  2. Investing online has been a main source of income,that's why knowledge plays a very important role in humanity,you don't need to over work yourself for money.All you need is the right information,and you could build your own wealth from the comfort of your home!Binary trading is dependent on timely signals,assets or controlled strategies which when mastered increases chance of winning up to 90%-100% with trading. It’s possible to earn $10,000 to $20,000 trading weekly-monthly,just file a complaint with  Robert,I had almost given up on everything about binary trading and ever getting my lost funds back,till i met with him,with his help now i have my lost funds back to my bank account and I can now trade successfully with his profitable strategies and software!!
