It sometimes happens that I wake up in the middle of the night because of too high blood sugar. I cannot seem to sleep again, with my blood sugar being so high. I usually inject some insulin then. But here is the problem:
Usually, when injecting insulin (during the day), my body reacts within a reasonable time (about an hour to get back to normal levels if I was high). However, during the night/in the first hour or so after getting up, my body hardly reacts to insulin at all.
My question is if it is possible that my body cannot react to the insulin because my metabolism (?) is not running as "fast" when I am lying in bed.
Have some of you experienced similar issues?
