| John puts it right in a nutshell. What is confusing and difficult is that everyone's hormone reactions are not only different between individuals but can vary on a monthly cycle. Keep good records to help get a handle on how severe your reactions are at different times. If that wasn't enough, dinner & snacks the night before can alter things as well. Again, keeping track of how different foods effect you and your system is essential.
I found the most useful thing to be a continuous glucose monitor I got from my endo to use over three days. Did that twice before I got a clearer picture of my nighttime rhythms. Adjusted my pump's basal rates and things got much easier.
