Message: <blockquote data-quote="forestschool" data-source="post: 2552671" data-attributes="member: 561226"><p>We had this issue with our daughter when she went onto a CGM.  It is not a malfunction with the CGM, more than likely it is showing how your liver is releasing glycogen during the night.  This could have been happening before and you've only just seen it (if you've gone onto a CGM), growth hormones could be at play if you are a teenager, or something has changed in your daily routine if it is a new issue.  Try the following to correct it: 1- have a small snack (this might take some trial and error with regards to the amount of carbs and time eaten) at night and do not change your insulin routine, this works for injections and pumps 2- if you are on a pump, reduce your basal dosing from about midnight/1am until about 3am- insulin changes usually need to happen about 2 hours before the moment in time.  If 3am is the low point, change about midnight/1pm for a few hours and then as your sugars start to rise own their own, this should cancel out staying too low around 4am and onwards.  Hope this helps.</p></blockquote><p></p>
