Hey all
This is my first post here, so sorry if something is out of place.
I have been having a issue for a fairly long time now, that I have not been able to solve even with help from my diabetic team.
My problem is that I see a huge increase in my bloodsugar the first couple of hours after I fall asleep. My bloodsugar is pretty stable during the hours I am awake, and my h1abc have been around 7.0 mmol/l for the last couple of years.
I have a Libre so it is pretty clear to see that as soon as i fall asleep my bloodsugar starts to rise. just this night i went to bed with a bloodsugar on 5.8 mmol/l, woke up 2 hours later with it being 20.0 mmol/l. That is a typical pattern and the curve is fairly steep so it happens quite fast after I am sleeping. It ruins my sleep as I wake up due to the high bloodsugar and finds it hard to fall back to sleep again while the bloodsugar is still high. When i correct with Fiasp the bloodsugar will fall back to a normal level and not rise again during that night/morning.
Also if I take a nap during the day, there is no rise.
What I am thinking now is that there most be something in my body that triggers the glucose to be released as I fall asleep, but i have no idea on how to fix that. Anyone here who have been through something similar and found a solution that might be worth a try?
I am on 20 units of Tresiba and Fiasp per need - 1 unit will lower 2 mmol/l and carb ratio is 1:10g.
I have tried to take more/less Tresiba and also to take it at night/morning, but does not see any change other than my bloodsugar being too low during the day when i increase the Tresiba.
As it does not happen everyday and it changes a lot on how high my bloodsugar will go, I cannot correct it with Fiasp before i go to bed as there is a great risk of overdosing if the rise does not happen.
It does not seem to be directly food related, even if I haven't been eating for a while before going to bed or eat something just before, it still happens. And if I am eating low/high carb it is still the same.
