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

  • Adjust Medication: Consult your doctor about adjusting the timing or dosage of your diabetes medication or insulin.
  • Evening Snack: A small, balanced snack before bed (e.g., protein and complex carbs) can help stabilize blood sugar overnight.
  • Exercise: Regular physical activity, especially in the evening, can improve insulin sensitivity.
  • Monitor Blood Sugar: Check your blood sugar levels before bed and upon waking to identify patterns.
  • Limit Carbs at Dinner: Avoid high-carb meals in the evening to prevent blood sugar spikes.

If morning blood glucose remains high, consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice.
