I am type 2 diabetes. I take Glycazide, Folpix, Dapgliflozin and Metformin. It doesn't matter how low my readings are before i go to bed usually around 7.0 sometimes 6.5 i always spike in the night and reading is still high in the morning. Is it to do with my severe pain from fibromyalgia and arthritis. I barely sleep and also have CFS. Does this have a baring on my readings? What can i do? At my wits end!
 
Now I don't really know it works for Type 2 Diabetics but I'm a type 1 Diabetic and, if I wouldn't take extra insulin, I would rise early in the morning.
Are you sure you spike in the night? could be early in the morning.
I do believe the pain could have something to do with it, see what your BG does when you slept well, if that's an option.

Sleepless disturbed nights will cause rises in levels, and severe pain certainly will. I shot up 1mmol/l the other night just because a full bladder woke me up and I was far too warm and cosy to get out of bed straight away. :arghh:

Perhaps you could try to lower your day time levels, so when you go to bed you are lower than 7? Are you watching the number of carbs you are eating?
