    Higher blood sugar in the morning

    Hi Everyone. I take my BM before bed and take my Lantus along with my other meds. In the morning my BM is higher than the night before. Am I having little hypos without realising? I feel fine with no headache or damp sheets. Any advice would be good. Thanks.

    climbing back on the wagon

    Atrocious dismissal of eye symptoms.

    That's interesting. I too have a floater that should be absorbed according to my opthamologist. Perhaps I should seek a second opinion. Good luck with the surgery.
