EP 71: T1D Tips with Jessica: Dawn Phenomenon, Feet-on-Floor, and the Somogyi Effect & How to Conquer Them


Listen Later

In this episode we dive into 3 situations that can raise blood sugars that your endo probably never told you about!

Hormone driven changes in the feet to floor reaction, somogyi effect, and dawn phenomenon are 3 different scenarios that can drive up blood sugars during the early morning hours or overnight.

We discuss how to identify which pattern could be impacting your blood sugars, how to help combat them, what to discuss with your endo as well as trends and patterns you should watch if these events are happening to you.
