High Early Morning Glucose | Dawn Phenomenon & Somogyi Effect

The video tutorial discusses the causes of high early morning glucose levels, focusing on the dawn phenomenon and the Somogyi effect. It explains how glucose is regulated by hormones like insulin, glucagon, epinephrine, and growth hormone. The dawn phenomenon is characterized by increased growth hormone levels at night, leading to higher glucose levels in the morning. The Somogyi effect occurs when low glucose levels at night trigger a rise in counterregulatory hormones, resulting in high morning glucose. The tutorial concludes with a summary and encourages viewers to like and subscribe.
