Diabetes Type 2 Support Group

Type 2 Diabetes is a condition in which the body either does not produce enough insulin or does not make efficient use of it. Insulin is a hormone needed to convert food into glucose, a sugar that the body uses for energy. Without enough insulin, glucose can accumulate in the blood, and can cause serious health problems such as heart disease and strokes and organ damage...

Lately my morning #'s seem to be a bit higher than usual, and I was wondering if lite exercise before bed might help?

sounds like the dawn effect has decided to have fun with you...many of us go thru this, I am suddenly experiencing more....not much that can be done with the dawn effect...since the pancreas and liver no longe communicate with each other correctly (or as I say they had a party and didn't invite me lol) they cannot process the sugars at night, and it will usually start about 2-3am.

so do you have a light protein snack at night? that might help

I've found that light toning exercises around 7pm help absorb some sugar.

I don't as a rule eat at night, but I could try a small bit of cheese I guess. I'll give that a try anyway..thanks.

I have a spin gym, I'll give that a try in the evening, while watching tv.
