The first line of defense in preventing chronic Somogyi rebound is additional blood glucose testing.

Some practical behaviors which are useful in avoiding chronic Somogyi rebound are:

Chronic Somogyi rebound (The "Somogyi effect").

Somogyi showed that excessive insulin makes diabetes unstable in the Chronic Somogyi rebound of which he gave his name, and first published his findings in 1938.

Chronic Somogyi rebound, also called the Somogyi effect and posthypoglycemic hyperglycemia, is a rebounding high blood sugar that is a response to low blood sugar.

The Somogyi effect can occur any time you or your child has extra insulin in the body.

The Somogyi effect can occur when a person takes long-acting insulin for diabetes.

The dawn phenomenon and the Somogyi effect cause high blood sugar levels, especially in the morning before breakfast, in people with diabetes.

This "Somogyi effect" is often noted by pet owners who monitor their pets' blood glucose at home.

An example of the Somogyi effect is:

In a counter-intuitive manifestation, hypoglycemia can trigger a Somogyi effect, resulting in a rebounding high blood sugar or hyperglycemia.

Chronic Somogyi rebound (The "Somogyi effect").

Chronic Somogyi rebound, also called the Somogyi effect and posthypoglycemic hyperglycemia, is a rebounding high blood sugar that is a response to low blood sugar.

To sort out whether an early morning high blood sugar level is caused by the dawn phenomenon or Somogyi effect, check blood sugar levels around 2 a.m. to 3 a.m. for several nights.
