I'm just wondering If anyone knows why this is happening.

So I'm an insulin dependent type 2 diabetic.
My blood sugar has always been very erratic too high/too low hardly any time in range at all.
I suffer from the dawn effect so every morning my sugars will shoot up into the 20s and I usually spend most of my day trying to correct them.

However the last 24 hours they've suddenly become stable.. like mostly in range and under 10. In all the years I've had diabetes they have never been stable for this long. In 24 hours I've not gone over 12.5 which never happens.

This morning I have woke up and they are at 6 which is unheard of for me

I have not changed my diet. Or changed any of the doses with my day and night insulin
I'm just wondering if you have any idea on why they've suddenly decided to behave themselves
 
Mine do this too, if you’re a t2 insulin dependant then it is most likely your body either being more sensitive to the insulin or making more of its own insulin. Just enjoy it whilst it lasts, as it won’t last forever is my experience
 
Sounds great @NinaVictoria

Enjoy it while it lasts!

My experience over the years has been that managing my diabetes seems to involve almost constant tweaking and changing of doses, strategies, prebolus timings, and all that malarky - trying to spot patterns, keep the plates spinning, and chase the moving goalposts.

Very briefly, occasionally my doses / correction factors seem to just work for a while, and that can actually seem like hardly having diabetes at all!
