[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 382338, member: 21149"] Hi. There could be many reasons for this. One thing is that as you work nights your body timings may be a bit confused and as the liver usually dumps glucose during the night this might be part of the problem although there are no doubt other reasons. Note that your body trickles glucose all the time and hence insulin is normally present to manage this i.e. background insulin. If the pancreas is not delivering then blood sugar will rise without any food. I'm guessing of course. Can I ask how old you are and if overweight or not? [/QUOTE]
