Abstract

The use of insulin regimens that provide sufficient insulin levels in the early morning can suppress the dawn phenomenon, leading to improved glycemic control. The increase in circulating IGFBP-1 in the morning, as a result of waning of insulin action, lowers free IGF-1 levels and may cause insulin resistance.
