Snacks to help dawn phenomenon?

[Katieb]

Hi all

In an attempt to get my morning readings down (this should be the lowest reading, but for me is often one of my highest) I am going to try having a snack before bedtime. Does anyone else do this and if so any ideas on a low carb/fat/cal snack?

I have the same problem, my morning BG is always the highest of the day between 8 and 9, but rest of the day between 4 and 5. If you find a solution to the problem let me know please 🙂 I've tried everything I can think ofto no avail, only thing I've not tried is beer and spirits because I don't like the stuff 🙂

Hi John

Will keep trying! Wine obviously doesn't work for me, as my reading always a wee bit higher after a glass or 2 the night before! It may be that a snack won't work at all, just wonder if it does for some! Katie🙂

Will be interested to hear how you get on, good luck. Shame wine doesn't work!!

wine works for me 😛 but I only have 2 glasses of wine on a Saturday night.... and don't bother the rest of the week (well rarely bother).

my DSN recommended a ginger biscuit at bedtime... so I tried that and found that it works fairly well with a dark hot choc drink but then I cut out the biscuit last night (to try to help with weight-loss) and had a higher reading again

There's been a fair bit of research to say vinegar works, so am going to try pickles tonight! Hubby will love it!😱
