Higher Morning Sugar Levels?

Blood sugar can be brought down and kept at normal levels throughout the day, yet, many diabetics find that even though they have not eaten before bedtime, when they wake up in the morning their blood sugar levels are elevated. This is caused by something called the "dawn phenomenon":

"Although the mechanics of the dawn phenomenon aren't yet entirely clear, research suggests that the liver deactivates more circulating insulin during the early morning hours." [This results in sugar not being pushed into cells for energy but building up in the blood instead.]

"Investigators have actually measured blood sugar every hour throughout the night under similar circumstances. They find that the entire blood sugar increase occurs about 6-10 hours after bedtime for most people who are so affected."

"Both the time it takes for blood sugar to increase and the amount of the increase vary from one person to another. An increase may be negligible in some and profound in others."

You can begin maintaining healthy blood sugar levels with regular exercise combined with a low carbohydrate diet and by supplementing with the correct nutrients. This can also help reduce the effects of the "dawn phenomenon".

A Diabetic Success

"I am a 47-year-old and have recently found out I have turned diabetic. I started doing some research on diabetes, borrowed a meter to do some self-checking. The first time I checked my sugar level - to be totally honest it scared the hell out of me. I was 310. And finding out that a normal level should be about 80 to 100 I figured I better start doing something. I change my diet and cut out all sugar and some of the carbohydrates. After about 1 week the next reading I took came in about 225. Better but still not what I thought was acceptable.

"I came across the website about the WSN® Diabetic Pack. You can do your own research about medications for diabetes, but I found out they cause complications, so I wanted to find something else that would work.

"I started taking the Foodform® nutrients the next morning and my results were pretty amazing. On the second day my morning reading was 190. And within 1 week my numbers dropped to 175. Now I did change my diet and added exercise and after the second week I was in the 150's; after the third week I went below 120. At the end of the second month my sugars stabilized at 100 to 110 and I have been as low as 81. It has now been 5 months and I'm still going strong!

"I can't say that this will work for everyone but it worked great for me. My eyesight has now returned to normal, my weight is down, I have much more energy and I think I am actually in better shape now than I have been in years.

"Now if any of you readers think that this story is made up just to sell you - THINK AGAIN - I am a real person, and if you want to correspond with me please feel free to ask Bob Held for my email and I will be happy to confirm this with you. It has changed my life; maybe it can change yours too."
