[QUOTE="kendod666, post: 393889, member: 71869"] It is to check for a phenomenon called Somogyi, where a blood glucose drop in the night causes your body to produce hormones that raise your blood sugar by morning. All without you knowing. If you have low levels in the night a small snack before bed or reduction in lantus might be called for. Stops you going hypo in your sleep without your knowledge. No need to be done every night though :-) Once in a while I would say. [/QUOTE]
