[Diabetes-Talk] Blood sugar overnight changes.

[Paul JOrdan]

Hi all. First of all, this message has nothing to do with the subject line,
but I couldn't figure out any other way to get an email to the group, so
please be patient with my lack of computer skills.

Hello all. My husband is a type 2 diabetic. He is unable to test his blood
sugar using the typical finger stick. Several people have suggested the
freestyle libra and I'm wondering if it might work for him. I know there has
been some discussion on this list in the past, but I can't seem to figure
out how to access it. Since this has been discussed in the past and in order
not to clutter the list you can email me privately at paujor at roadrunner.com.
Thanks in advance.
Paula Jordan

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
