i am a type 2 diabetic, but have just started on insulin. Can anyone explain why, when i check my sugar levels before i go to bed (not having eaten anything for over 2 hours) they are lower than when i get up in the morning.

thanks

People who are touchy.......feign indignation at the slightest thing. Hypocrites, bullies and cowards.
