High morning blood sugar levels, also known as the dawn phenomenon, can be managed with the following strategies:

  • Adjust Your Evening Meal: Avoid high-carbohydrate meals before bed. Opt for a balanced meal with protein, healthy fats, and fiber.
  • Evening Exercise: Light physical activity in the evening can help regulate blood sugar levels overnight.
  • Medication Timing: Consult your doctor about adjusting the timing or dosage of your diabetes medications or insulin.
  • Monitor Blood Sugar: Check your blood sugar levels before bed and upon waking to identify patterns.
  • Stay Hydrated: Drink water before bed to help your body process glucose more effectively.

If morning blood sugar levels remain high, consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice.
