I am prediabetic and my A1c is 5.7 and has been up to 6.0

Recently I have been measuring my morning glucose and it varies between 80 and 125. I have only measured in once at 2. AM, when glucose was 90 versus 105 at 7 AM.

Reading about this it seems to match the The Dawn Phenomenon.

Has anyone dealt with this?

    I have, but I'm on an insulin pump. So, I have my pump set to give extra insulin in the morning. Another that has helped is to eat less carbs in general, but especially at night.
