I have found that Ceylon Cinnamon lowers my blood sugar. You can put it in oatmeal, coffee, or sprinkle it on to buttered toast. It doesn't dissolve in coffee because cinnamon is a bark, but it does taste good and it really does work. It apparently doesn't work well for a type one diabetic, but it works great for me and I am a type two diabetic.

[@terab8885]

@@AkitaSue yum I love oatmeal but I never thought to put cinnamon in it! Great idea! I agree with talking everything over with your doctor before putting anything into action! I’m a type two diabetic and am on an insulin pump which I love! It really helps me with this disease! Plus I’m on a CGM which really helps on tracking my blood sugars.

When adding vinegar, I would never drink more than 1 tablespoon with at least 8 oz of water. Vinegar needs to be highly diluted and drinking it without enough water can damage the mucous membranes in your throat. So I suggest drinking 2 glasses of water with a tablespoon in each glass. I have also found a supplement sold online called Curatin helps reduce my morning blood sugar as well. I also suggest adding chia seeds to everything- especially greek yogurt. Also start the day with a fiber drink, wait 15 minutes after it and have a piece or 2 of bread with at least 5 grams of fiber, then eat whatever you like. 30 minutes after your meal walk for 15 minutes. After 2 hours after the meal check your blood sugar and if it is not below 120, walk until you bring it down to that number. Berberine and Moringa are also good supplements to use and I like to snack on olives and keto toast with butter.

[@MrDoogied1975]

Essentially you are re-enforcing the well known principles of intermittent fasting, low carb diet and exercise. Regarding the fasting sugar, I found that when I woke up at night (11pM to 2 PM), snacked and then slept again, my fasting sugar was lower than the days on which I did not snack. Note that increasing medication may result in still higher fasting sugar because of increased insulin resistance.

Eating high protein snacks before bedtime, will slowly raising blood sugar during the night, making dawn phenomenon even worse.

[@diabetesdailydigest]

Snacking before bedtime ideally should be kept to a minimum as I mentioned in the video, but if you do have a snacks, referencing a study in 2020 from the Clinical nutrition journal, they found that eating protein-rich bedtime snack like an egg lowered fasting glucose and improved markers of insulin sensitivity overrnight. It depends on a number of factors of course and there is conflicting studies, but in general, best to avoid snacking if possible, but if you do snack, certainly best to remain low carb.

[@klipsie1]

[@ellapenrapiti6572]

Thank you for your excellent tips. A raised Fasting blood sugar, due to the dawn phenomena, should not be regarded as diabetes if your HbA1C is normal. There are other contributing factors to the dawn effect especially in people who follow 18 hour fasts The glucose levels in fasting patients might drop causing the body to release cortisol, adrenaline and glucagon, as well as growth hormone, which push the blood sugar up. Stepping up antibetic medication may not be a good idea. Fasting blood sugar fluctuates with the quality of sleep. If you have plenty of night mares or bad dreams your sugar could go up due to the release of cortisol and adrenaline in response to the disturbed sleep. Nightmares are a common side effect of Statins Would you agree that if you have a normal random blood sugar of 5umols and a raised FBS, it should not be regarded as diabetes? Dr Rapiti, Cape Town.

[@maralfniqle5092]

Great video and very informative. This video is trustworthy in my opinion. I try to eat something that is healthy verily late so I don't have to deal with the Dawn Phenomenon which I've known for some time now. In fact I may eat a healthy snack around midnight. Some of my readings show that this rise in blood glucose don't even exist when I eat at the proper times which I'm still working on. But I've manage to get the morning blood glucose levels down caused by the Dawn Phenomenon. Unfortunately Greek yogurt is nasty tasting and I won't eat it. Some of the snacks I like to eat and works well to keep that Dawn Phenomenon in check is a small about of milk, Lean meat, veggies, pork rinds, natural peanut butter and yes homemade chocolate syrup made of table sugar, cocoa, vanilla, pinch of salt, butter and milk. For some reason my homemade chocolate syrup causes my blood sugar to drop. I have done several experiments and I really don't understand why my blood glucose start dropping over a period of a few hours eating about a tsp of syrup about every hour with my lowest reading reading only 88mg/dL then I would stop eating it. I thought sugar is sugar regardless of the source and spikes blood glucose but maybe sugar works differently on me. I got my diabetes under control without medications by changing my eating habits like not eating anything with flour and rice which are my worst enemies. Potatoes can be eaten as long as they are prepared in a certain way. I also exercise by working out with dumbbells and walk as much as possible but I'm limited since I've had open heart surgery in April of this year and I will be 77 years old in a few days.

Not a recommendation, but this is what I do. First, I basal-tested to find my basal needs. Basal testing is something all should do to find their basal pattern and is beyond the scope of a comment. It showed me I crash at night and need very little insulin between midnight and 4 a.m. but then spike around 4:30. Not all of us follow this pattern, so you need to basal test. Upping my Lantus to address my waking glucose only got me in trouble. While I pumped, I set 24 hourly rates that kept me flat without food 24/7. On MDI, I wake early and take (1/4)+ of my basal insulin as Novorapid. Even if I wake at 6 with a sugar of 4, I will shoot six units. I take a third of the remaining as Lantus before bed and 2/3 when I wake. It works like a dream for me. None of these other ideas have ever helped much. Be careful be sure!

I checked with my heart doctor about drinking the Apple Cider Vinegar every day. He said not to do it, because it can lower potassium levels which can cause you to have a heart arrythmia.

[@AkitaSue]

Actually, the wise thing to do is to have blood work done and see where your potassium really is. I just found out mine is a bit high so if a C re-lowers it, in my case, that will be a good thing, but there are so many things that have potassium in them! You might want to ask your heart doctor to do bloodwork so you know where you really are.

Tacrolimus morning and at night for organ transplants increases my FBG into 120s. Will try your suggestions.

[@charleshurnsjr.9741]

What is FBG

[@bensbarbaro6021]

FBG fasting blood glucose or sugar

[@Mrgoodnyt]

A great snack is a scoop of casein protein powder and a small serve of greek yoghurt mixed in with cold water to texture. Let it set in the fridge for an hour. Makes a super clean high protein low crab snack. 50g of blueberries takes it to the next level aswell

Thanks for the tips!

At 21:00 hrs my blood was 5.5, then i ate four cream crackers biscuits with cheese, and at 23:00hrs i had a pint (big Beer Glass) of water with aprox 30mls of apple cider vinegar in it, i woke up four times in the night to Pee, then at 10:00 am my blood sugar was 6.1. what the hell happened, i was shocked. I was dragonised prediabetic 2 years ago dint check after that, but monitor my blood sugars daily.

I fast 18/6 10am first meal 6:00 dinner and exercise after meal after dinner .I’m pre diabetic and changed to plant based diet.

[@yennyjen5742]

How are your fasting numbers? I am prediabetic.. just started fasting 18/6.. low to no carbs and last meal at 6pm. My fasting numbers still around 100-110

[@yennyjen5742]

But they keep steady all day long. Under 120

[@fansberat8583]

@@yennyjen5742 120 after meal? that's much better than 80 fasting and 150 after meal, steady flat line is far more important than ups and downs

[@madamnoire7464]

Apple cider vinegar & low fat cheese at bedtime helped me a lot.

[@ssshamdani]

Can you please also advise us the best time for breakfast if fasting blood sugar is high.

[@akeybrasevier4044]

I have a diabetes God bless you get well soon and Jesus name

[@netta6501]

I just eat Celery and broccoli to help my levels. And it works for me also blueberries.

[@zubairejaz5487]

The best time for dinner is 1800hrs and no more eating. It will definitely give control values in the morning

[@grupolauncionofficial4114]

[@Vykhrist]

Thank you. Appreciate the fact that this was informative, helpful and easy to comprehend. +1

[@diabetesdailydigest]

You're very welcome!

[@starpartyguy5605]

Appreciate your video. But having been on WW for 5 years and being a diabetic for over 35 years, I can tell you this. If you don't like what you're eating, you won't stick to it. We all knew when the influx of new people came in around early January, they would be gone after the 6 weeks of discount coupons were used up. People don't like being on diets, and that's why we have so many diabetics with out of control blood sugar. I took steps myself though. I started ordering meal kits with 30 carbs or less. I'm not a fan of veggies, salads, or seeds or health food items. The kits have veggies and they do things that make them interesting, such as adding chili powder to broccoli for instance. The kits are the only thing that keeps me in line.

[@fansberat8583]

what is WW?

[@rachelm7525]

Breakfast like a King, lunch like a Prince, dine like a pauper. This way you burn most of your calories during the day and you don't go to bed on a full stomach 😊

[@smileyuy5634]

Eat 7 pm., no more eating after.. NO carbs, no sugar, keep moving.. If hungry at night .. Make your almond cookie, with low sugar or none.. I eat half of Lil green banana not ripe and water.. So far it's good BS morning.. ❤Good luck folks

Hi. I'm a T2 diabetic, and I've been trying to figure this dawn phenomenon thing out for a while now. Honestly, my doctor can't give me any worthwhile advice. Many times, I'll wake up at 4:00 AM, check my glucose, and get a reading in the mid/low 90s. Then go back to sleep and check it again at 8:00 AM, and it's up over 200, even though 95% of my dinners are either completely carb free, or have under 10 grams! I will be paying better attention to your suggestions moving forward, especially trying to eat dinner earlier and also some ACV later on in the evening. Regarding a yogurt snack after dinner, I get those 5.3 oz. yogurt cups that are plain yogurt with zero fat and no sugar added (tastes bad so I add a little liquid stevia), but the label shows that each cup has 5 grams of natural sugar. That can't be good for a T2 diabetic in the evening, correct? Thanks for any advice!!!

[@whatsup3270]

Are you saying on the same morning absent of food and drinks ( not water) you can increase from 95 to 200? That would not seem accurate, are you drinking something? could you be doing something to error the test. Some people have slow digestion and since they are not moving they can gain blood sugar from this slow digestion. Maybe try a fast from 4 am to one hour after awakening with tests at 4am, shortly after awakening and one hour later after reasonable activity. You may see a sharp drop associated with moving around.

[@raymakara]

@@whatsup3270 Yes, there have been many times where I see that much of a glucose spike from 4 AM to 8 AM. I usually fast after dinner through the next day for anywhere from a minimum of 16 hours up to 20 hours. So I usually don't eat after 8 PM, until at the very least, noon the next day. I drink water 95% of the time, except for a cup of tea and two cups of coffee in the morning. The tea & coffee is always AFTER I check my glucose after waking up. It will slowly go down throughout the day/evening/night with very few, or very small, elevations because I am taking in very few carbs and no processed foods. Now, the dawn spikes of 100+ don't happen all of the time, but often enough. Usually that dawn spike is around 60-75, which is still way too high, from what I understand.

Try GURMAR.....The Sugar Destroyer! Also good for your prostate....cleanses the kidneys..

[@angelical1516]

Oh God such an interesting video but the captions just disappeared in mid half of video. I struggle with morning high glucose…am deaf 😢

[@HighFiveFriend]

You are right, they do disappear! It would be work, but you can use the Google transcription app, and play the video. It will transcribe for you as the video speaks. Extra effort, so hope they fix the cc. 😊

[@daveduncan8004]
