For a few days there has been a recurring pattern of a large blood glucose increase in the night and I can’t really tell what it is down to.
Around 19:45 I injected 10 units for my meal (don’t judge me I had wholewheat pasta and fruit) BG: 5.4 mmol/L before the meal
Around 21:30 I checked my blood glucose and it was 6.3 mmol/L
I checked again before sleeping 23:00 and it was still 6.3 mmol/L so my blood glucose was stable.
Bear in mind NovoRapid lasts 3-4 hours for me
I then woke up around 2:45 am and I felt uncomfortable and hot so I checked and it was 13 mmol/L
So what could potentially cause a large jump? This has been going on for 2-3 days. I’m not unwell or anything but sometimes when I wake up with hyperglycaemia i feel sweaty and hot.
I’m wondering whether wholewheat pasta is to blame but I bolused fully and my blood sugars returned to what I expected.
Anyways so I injected 2 units around 3am which should have brought my blood sugar from 13mmol/L to 7mmol/L but when I checked again at 6am in the morning it was 10mmol/L
So far my carb ratios have been the same throughout the day and my insulin sensitivity factor 1 unit for 3mmol/L drop so I’m unsure what’s happening over here
