[Diabetes-Talk] Blood sugar overnight changes.

[Bridgit Kuenning-Pollpeter]

Allen,

It's typically ideal for fasting BGs to be under 100. So, if they are not,
you need to speak with your doctor about changing your protocol to work on
this. If you use fast acting insulin, it might mean taking larger boluses.
If you also take long acting insulin, you might need to increase and/or
change this. Perhaps you need to change what and when you eat dinner.
There's a variety of things your doctor might want you to try. But again,
this can only be determined by you and your doctor.

I apologize if I am repeating a question I've already asked. Am I correct in
understanding that it should be, basically, the norm for blood sugars to
lower overnight?

If not, if they can rise overnight, what is a typical range, if there is
one, for how high they would rise?

I ask because, according to my glucometer I went from 180 last night at 10
PM to 202 this morning at 6 AM. Thankfully I have an appointment with the
diabetes clinic/Endocrinology clinic on Friday and can pin down some
answers. In the meantime, I just wanted to double check my understanding
about changes in blood sugar overnight. Thank you.

Alan
