I am finding it difficult to predict what this will do! I take Lantus at bedtime around 11pm and then at breakfast.. Isn't your blood sugar supposed to only drop or rise up to 2 mmol from bed to breakfast?
For example, I go to bed on 10, at 3am I was 5. So I thought hmmm that is a bit low and I had 2 CP i.e. 20g worth of Lucozade. At breakfast I was back to 10. What is going on? Another time I was 11 at bed, 5 at 3am and had 2 cp and was 7.9 at breakfast. I am scared of going to bed below 10 in case I go lower than 5 at 3am!
And it seems that my readings are more stable if I DO go to bed around the 10 mark.
I have kept a diary of nighttime readings and they are all over the place. I have been told that it is unlikely to be the menopause so the only other thing i can think of is digestion i.e. carb amount in evening meal. I don't really go out after my evening meal. I do suffer from IBS. I have normal readings sometimes at breakfast to it is not dawn phenomenon.
I'm really at a loss!
