Hi All,
I would be very grateful for any advice on the following...
I'm really struggling at the moment with high blood glucose readings in the night, usually around 3:30am. I don't eat heavy carbs and my blood is fine (4.5 - 6ish) before I go to sleep, then I wake up with the thirst symptoms as when I was first diagnosed and test with results ranging from 13 - 18 and even on one occasion where it was 25! The lack of sleep over the last week is draining.
I haven't been doing as much exercise as I used to due to moving house and consequently resigning from the gym - could it be as simple as this that's affecting my blood glucose in the night? I've tried adjusting my Levemir to compensate but without much success and will be joining the new gym this week (if I'm not too tired!).
If anyone can relate to this or offer another possible cause, I'd appreciate it very much.
I take Levemir and Novorapid and used to have excellent control.
Cheers
Dave
