Hey guys,
I have been having constant high mornings sugars. Im a Diabetic 1 with Novorapid short lasting insulin and Lantus as long lasting insulin. I usually take 35 units Lantus
Im on a low carb diet and i regularly exercise, do yoga and meditate. But these swings in my blood sugars have left me tired and anxious. It seems that the sugars starts rising late evenings and i can wake up in the middle of the night due to high sugars. This has caused sleeping issues for me.
Here are some of my readings from some random days:
7 SEPTEMBER:
TIME: 07.30 Blood sugar: 18 (no breakfast) Insulin dosage units: Lantus 34. Novorapid 13
TIME 10.00 Blood sugar: 10.00
TIME: 12.00 Blood sugar 9,6 Insulin dosage units : 6 novorapid FOOD: low carb chicken salad
TIME 16.00 blood sugar 10.00
TIME 18.00 blood sugar 7,5 insulin dosage units: 6 Novorapid FOOD: 2 chicken breasts and sallad
TIME 19.00 blood sugar: 8,6
TIME 21.00 blood sugar 6,4
BED TIME 23.00 blood sugar 9,5
8 SEPTEMBER:
i wake up earlier due to high blood sugar.
Morning sugar is 16,9 at 07.00 INSULIN DOSAGE: 13 Novorapid 34 Lantus NO BREAKFAST
TIME 10.00 blood sugar: 8,8
TIME 12.00 blood sugar: 7,6 INSULIN DOSAGE: Novorapid 5 FOOD: egg and fish sallad
TIME 14.00 blood sugar: 6,1
TIME 16.00 blood sugar 5,3 FOOD: 1 Banana
TIME 19.00 blood sugar 4,8 FOOD: 1 sandwich ( NO INSULIN)
TIME 21.30 blood sugar 5,5 INSULIN: 5 Novorapid which i did not take 19.00
TIME 22.30 blood sugar 3,4 FOOD: 1 banana + 1 slice black bread (NO INSULIN)
The thing is that my even if my evening sugars sometimes are around 6 - 9 i wake up with 15 in blood sugars in morning. All day can be under 10 but then mornings are high. I have got feelings of anxiety due to my swings and it has been going on for a while now.
Im feeling unmotivated to do things in life. No interest. Im tired and less concentrated. Should i try the new long lasting insulin Tresiba?
Do you have any tips or suggestions on how to get my morning sugars in control?
