I have been diagnosed prediabetic in the last 6 months due to a slightly elevated A1C and both my parents are type 2. I'm 51 years old. I'm not currently taking meds, opting to lose weight, diet, and exercise instead. Now that I'm eating low carb, I'm trying to understand why 2 hours after meals my blood sugar is typically between 70 and 90 but nearly every morning after fasting all night it's typically 102-115. I've read about the dawn phenomenon and wonder if this is the cause. Does anyone know how to help control the dawn phenomenon?
