Once the condition is identified, several interventions can reduce morning blood glucose peaks:
Medication Adjustments: Your clinician might recommend adjusting the timing or dose of insulin or oral medication to better cover the morning glucose peak.
Evening Snack Options: After consulting with your dietitian or treating physician, consider a balanced bedtime snack containing protein and healthy fats to help stabilise overnight glucose levels.
Physical Activity: Regular exercise improves insulin sensitivity and glucose control but avoid vigorous exercise before bed, which will disrupt sleep.
Regular Sleep Pattern: Poor or irregular sleep may raise glucose variability. Strive for consistent, restful sleep.
Avoid Late-Night Carbs: Consuming large carb-rich meals late in the night may contribute to worsening morning glucose.'
