Morning BG Advice

Hi all, after a bit of advice really. My BG in morning is sporadic in one word, where either its perfectly in range, or sky high where I then spend most of the morning using corrections to get back in range. I have tried the 3am test and bg is pretty much in range. however it makes no difference when i get up so dont think dawn phenom. Does anybody have similar experiences?? cheers Deano

There may be some liver action happening, even if most of the time it may go un noticed...........

Do you get breakfast when you get up?

Breaking the fast should tell the liver to stop....

What do you mean you spend all morning correcting? Do you not let the correction do its work? I mention this as you are risking hypo later due to insulin stacking, if your constantly injeting corrrections...

Hi Novorapid,

Thanks for your reply, I always have breakfast when I get up. I dont chase bloodsugars normally however if I get up and eat at 6.30am and know that not having lunch until about 1pm. If am still above target (11 upwards) I may take a little correction so by the time I have lunch I am perfect range. This is not a daily occurance but occasional as dont like taking a massive correction early in the morning, as work tends to be hectic at times and sometimes dont get a chance to catch a breath!

So when would you take this correction?

Would your BG not have came down by the time lunch comes?

As mentioned I do not take a big correction at breakfast as may not get chance to grab any food from 6.30am until 1pm on somedays, as time tends to run away as workload hectic in mornings. So I do a correction at 6.30am that brings me down to 10-12 range by 11am when qa is coming to end of play if bg is high in morning, then take a unit or two correction at same time as Background so at 1pm when I have lunch and relax for an hour am in good range.

Would you say your morning is physical...........even if it is, you should try and dose for your food and correct so that you are within target range for lunch time............

Obviously you fear hypo by lunch time if your running about, that is natural, but you will not know the effect of a 'hectic morning' unless you dose correctly, only then can you accurately adjust.................
