At 6pm last night I ate my evening meal and injected my fast acting insulin (apidra). From 8pm-9pm I played football. The combination of a slight overestimate on my insulin dose and excercise brought my blood sugar levels down to a reasonable level at 9pm.
Since then, I have not eaten or drank anything. At around 11pm I injected my daily slow acting insulin (lantus).
So why, from 9pm last night to 7am this morning, when not a single carb has entered my body, have my blood sugar levels gone from 6 to 16?
I know sometimes when you sleep through a hypo your blood sugars can shoot up, but I only went down to 5 and was awake then.
Any help or insights are massively appreciated
