night time neuropathy

[m_cooper]

last hb test 6,but i still get burning in my feet at night,it seems like my bs levels are rising long after meals about 6 hours after dinner;if i skip dinner my feet seem better at night.my question is does the bg level keep rising for hours or are my nerves just hypersensitive

Blood sugars do rise for hours after meals particularly if:

You have delayed stomach emptying. (You will usually have other complications too if you have this).
You eat a lot of protein eg steaks can take 10 hours to digest.
You eat a lot of fat with the carbs you eat. Eg Pizza takes 8 hours to digest.
You eat late and night and then go to bed.

The only way to know is to check your blood sugar every 2 hours after each meal.
