My diabetic doctor informed me that I wasn't taking enough night-time insulin as I was getting occasional high readings in the morning. I have found that if I've had a bad dream this happens. I've been keeping a note and I've come to the conclusion that when you are frightened or anxious in a dream the body releases adrenaline into your system. This causes the 'fight or flight response' in which case the liver and muscles release an excess of glucose into the system resulting in a high glucose reading in the morning. I explained this to my doctor but she showed no interest in my theory.
I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem.
