If a diabetic will be their day of blood glucose levels at different time points together into a line, he may find two distinct peaks. The first three or four points from early morning start, and gradually rising to seven or eight o’clock the morning to reach the peak, a phenomenon known as the “dawn phenomenon.” The second peak appeared in the afternoon, some experts called the “twilight phenomenon.”

In fact, healthy people also have a day of fluctuating blood sugar levels, but the rate will not be so big, will remain in the normal range. And diabetes due to basal insulin secretion, reduced or even disappear, it is easy to be two in the morning and afternoon peak above the normal.

Cause “dawn phenomenon” may be due to different. The first is that sugar is not enough doses the night before friends, or taking time early. Another might be “HE Jie reaction” caused. It refers to the night before hypoglycemia, the machine automatically understand the “open” glycolic mechanism to help the body through this dangerous period, resulting in elevated blood sugar. It is often caused by drug overdose. Therefore, the early morning high blood sugar occurs when the patient must not be allowed to adjust medication.

Friends can be detected by sugar per hour 1-3 points a night of blood glucose to distinguish. If the blood glucose value 6.0 mmol / l or so, that is, “dawn phenomenon”; if blood glucose levels below 3.9 mmol / l, it is “HE Jie response.” Under the guidance of a doctor to adjust medication to avoid repeated “dawn phenomenon.”

In general, the “twilight phenomenon” occurs in the afternoon, about four or five points. However, for this formulation, the expert did not form a unified opinion. Some experts believe that the afternoon high blood sugar and the patient’s own diet, exercise and so close, it may be due to diet, exercise, caused by improper and not basal insulin secretion caused. I personally agree with this view. If the afternoon high blood sugar, you can increase the amount of exercise, control the intake of total lunches, and other methods to adjust the dose adjusted.
