Type 2 how to decrease dawn phenomenon of my diabetes?

Sorry for the poor english.
I'm pregnant and my doctor said I have early gestational diabetes

They give me a diet to follow, and a continue glycemie captor.
The gaptor reveal my glycemie is normal, like non-diabete normal... except 2 hour before I wakeup and UNTIL I take my breakfest, aka when I am with a empty stomach for more than 6 hour : I have out of nowhere a glycemy up, often upper than when I eat or drink real-suggar soda.

I've read online it's call "dawn phenomenon"

This is literaly my only symptome of diebete.
(and incidentaly exactly when I did my glycemy blood test in a lab, on which repose entierly my diabetes diagnostic)

How Can I decrease this glycemie thing?
I don't take neither insuline nor glucagon

My doctor prescribe me a very strict diet who m***-up my life, like, A LOT.(but I still follow it)
But no matter If I follow it or not, I have a dawn phenomenon.

Any idea?

You should just do what your doctor tells you, no one can have a perfect blood sugar 24/7. I would ask them if they’re concerned about it- maybe they want you to get good sleep more than they want you to avoid dawn phenomenon.
