So last night before I went to bed at 9.30 I was a 10 something.
Woke up at 1.15 ish and brain was whizzing so out of interest did a test, it was 6.8.
Took me a while (probably till 2.30-3) to get back to sleep.
Just did my wake up test at 5.50am and my sugars have increased to 8.0.
But I haven’t eaten or drank anything.
Is it lack of sleep that has increased my sugars or likely something else?
 
never will understand this Diabetes it does just what it likes no matter how we try to control it but eventually one hopes we will master it
 
There are many things which affect our BG: food (carbs, protein, fat ... in different ways), alcohol, illness, stress, lack of sleep, exercise, time of day/month/year, drugs, ...
And, yes, lack of sleep ... although this is often caused by one of the other things I mentioned.
 
Ha, so basically blood sugar will do what it wants, when it wants regardless of what it should do?
So anything and everything can muck it up?

Generally speaking, yes, but carbs are the worst of the muckers up.
