[QUOTE="Saka, post: 268965, member: 43920"] Hi, I've noticed for a long time after eating a large meal on an evening my blood sugar level will be perfect (5-7mmol) when I test it two hours after the meal but if I wake up during the night and test my sugar level it will have rocketed to anything between 15-20mmol but I'm at a loss as to what to do to prevent this from happening. If I inject more fast acting insulin (Humalog) with my meal I have a hypo and my sugar level still ends up being sky high during the night and if I have more slow acting insulin (Glargine/Lantus) my sugar level won't rise as much as it usually does during the night but throughout the following day my sugar level will be dropping because of the excess insulin in my body. This only happens when eating particularly large meals, which isn't very often, probably once every six weeks. My HB1AC was perfect last time I had it checked (I think it was 5.4) and I'm a very healthy person in general so my diabetes is under perfect control, it's just these high sugar levels that bother me. Is this worth worrying about because at most my sugar level will only be high for a few hours as I always inject some fast acting insulin to bring it back down but it's rather annoying that I have to do this and it plays on mind as I'm going to sleep hence it affects my night of sleep. Any help or advice would be most appreciated. Cheers Ian PS.I'm 30 and have been type one diabetic for 14 years. [/QUOTE]
