Answer to Question 1

The dawn phenomenon results from the effect of hormones involved in controlling circadian rhythms. Cortisol and growth hormone stimulate gluconeogenesis. This causes hyperglycemia between 5:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. (dawn). Examination of blood glucose records for individuals who have high glucose levels at awakening may identify this event. It will need to be distinguished from another condition, referred to as rebound effect. This refers to an elevation in blood glucose as a reaction to previous low blood glucose levels during the night. To correct these events, bedtime snacks or insulin regimens will be adjusted. These conditions may occur in either T1 or T2DM.
