Blood Glucose in the morning

I done DAFNE in 2009, now on the pump and I am still learning..........asking questions is the best way to get the information you need....

Your BI dose is the most important and the doses will change from time to time unfortunately, so its wise to do some carb free testing every month or two if not more often....

let us know how you get on with it.......

Since i increased my BI on Sunday night to 16 from 15 and started taking my BI before bed and when i get up at 6am my readings at 6am in the morning have been as follows, 8.2 Monday, 6.4 Tuesday, 6.8 Wednesday and 7.2 this morning.

That's really good numbers.....for me they would be anyway, all pretty close to each other too.........

a wee tweak to timing or dose may even bring you down lower........

well done........

I completed the DAFNE course in 2011 after having Diabetes for 25years, since joining DAFNE on line and reading peoples comments and advice I have learned more than ever . So thankyou all.

welcome hypo........

i hope your username isn't a reflection of your blood sugar control..... .........

were all happy to help whenever you need it, if we can......

Hi novorapidboi26 No hypo just seemed appropriate as that is what we are all trying to avoid as well as going the other way I have fairly good control thanks to Dafne on all you people with you advice once again thanks to you all .

Hi,

Due to work and the commute home i would basically be having my dinner anytime between 7.30pm-8pm during the week. I would then normally go to bed between 10pm-11pm and have noticed the last two nights my BG has been good by my standards 7.7 and 6.0 yet when i woke up my bloods were 13.8 and then this morning 12.3. I am wondering should i have tested around 12-1am seen as my qa would have only two hours in from my dinner when i went to bed.

Thanks.

Yes, Rafa, exactly........

In order for you to evaluate your dinner time dose you would need to test after all carbs and insulin have expired. If its OK, then you can assume the rise is happening overnight or because of the dawn phenomenon.

But as you recently looked at your BI, your evening meal ratio may need tweaked.
