Should it be a concern if sugar levels are persistently high after dinner and at bedtime but dropping to normal or acceptable levels mornings before breakfast?
Each morning, before breakfast, my sugar level can range from 4.4 – 7.4. And before dinner, it can be range from 5,2 – 9.4 but sometimes can be around 12.
However, on most days, particularly after dinner and at bedtime, levels can be anything between 3.8 to 16.7. But strangely, by the following morning, before breakfast, the levels have normalised or dropped to acceptable levels.
However, I avoid injecting a further dose of insulin when sugar levels are significantly higher at bedtime as, on a few occasions, it has resulted in hypos and that was most scary. Each time I would wake up, sweating all over and my heart beating rapidly. I then would need to get up, rush to the kitchen and gulp down a handful of raisons, a tablespoon of honey and finish off with a cup of coffee and a slice of toast smeared with peanut butter! And then I would feel fine.
Currently, I have been prescribed both Metformin and 30.70 insulin combo but, on some days, whether I take the Meformin or not, it does not appear to make any difference whatsoever. However, skipping an insulin dose would result in much higher pre-meal levels.
In light of the aforegoing, all comments and views would be appreciated.
