Heeey,
I'm a little miffed as to why i keep waking up with BG's of anywhere from 10-18 over the last week.
I got to bed around 6-8 most of the time, but keep waking up really high.
I did a few 2am/3am/4am tests and they were all still around 6-8, sometimes in the 5's but that doesnt worry me.
on a week day i work 8am-4pm so i'm up pretty early around 6-6.30am. i usually dont test my BG til i have breakfast, around 7-7.30am. Always high. So the two mornings in a row i've tested immediatly upon waking, and i'm around 8-9.. tested again before breakfast to have insulin and i'm anywhere from 12-18, is this normal to have such a rise in about an hour?
My other results in the day are pretty good nowadays, i like to be between 5-7 which i hit most often, i occasionally have the carb counting error and can be a little above or maybe dip low but im happy with that at the moment.
i use lantus and novorapid at the min, i'm due to get a pump on 21st feb, so i know i can set higher rates for the morning if this is a bad case of the 'dawn phenomenon' i split lantus at the minute one in morning and one in the night, but i don't want to increase my night time lantus anymore than i'm on now as it took a while of going between 12-16 units and waking up with bad hypo's at night
It seems to take me til about 10-11am to get my BG's normal again so i'm annoyed its mucking up alot of my days results
advice please?
