Hi,

I am now 28 years old having DM for about 8 years. Even doctor cannot answer whether I am type I or type II. I am too early to have Type II while too late to discover Type I. Anyway, they treat me as Type I and giving me injection of Novarapid which is a short lasting insulin and a Latin which is long lasting insulin. A typical 3+1 injection treatment. All of my blood glucose level reading make me sad. But the thing that makes me really depressing is the morning fasting.

I have no idea that how come the morning fasting are always >10mmol/L. Sometimes, it is 18, omg. I did not eat anything after 12:00 at night, but it does not give any help. My doctor said it may be due to rebounding that the level was too low at night and then rebound to a high level at morning and asked me to have a measure at night, ie 03:00am. However, the reading at mid-night was normal...omg again.

So I am curious am I the only person that has a high reading at morning? And what is your morning fasting usually?

Lasty, sorry for my poor English.
Thanks.

Hi Hong, welcome to the forum. 20 years old is far from too old to be diagnosed as a T1. Many on here were diagnosed at a much older age, and the UKs new prime minister was diagnosed at the age of 56.

There is a simple test, that looks for GAD antibodies, which if positive proves you to be a T1. Maybe you can get that done.

Checking your blood glucose level over night is a requirement to get that +1 shot working properly. You should choose a night where you can get up every two hours and test. This will show you the details of what happens during the night. WIthout doing this, you won't know if you are going low and rebounding, or whether you are simply seeing what's known as Dawn Phenomenon, where glucose levels rise dramatically from about 3am. This will help you understand what is happening and give your doctor something to go on.
