Hi all,
Probably been posted many a time but can anyone give me some ideas why my blood sugar spikes so high in the mornings having not eaten anything?
For example, today I woke up about 8am and my blood sugar was 10.1 mmol/l, it has just gone 11am and I haven't eaten/drank anything and yet I've skyrocketed to 18.7mmol/l.
I'm regularly experiencing this type of spike regardless of what I've eaten the night before. I usually don't eat until 2pm ish the next day.
I'm T1 on MDI (Tresiba and Novorapid).
Usually eat last meal quite late (9pm-10pm) due to work etc. but eat earlier if out or visiting parents (ate about 6:30pm last night at partner's parents) and same spike happens.
I have my Tresiba around 8-10am (21 units) every day, I have tested upping this dose but just end up with low blood sugar. I've tried adjusting ratios and going carb free for base line but I just end up with low blood sugar when messing with dosages so I don't think that is the problem.
I'm on 1:1 ratio all day.
Any ideas? Is the answer staring me right in the face?
Many thanks
