Now, one thing to keep in mind that a high blood sugar in the morning may result if the Lantus dose was enough insulin to push your blood sugars down far enough that the liver kicked in to bring you back up. The only real way to check on that is to do what all of us type 1s just love doing, settting alarms on the hour or every 1.5 hours to check the blood sugars. If you go to sleep, get up, find your blood sugar is going down rapidly, then you might see why there is this seemingly paradoxical effect going on.
Again, though, I'd highly recommend that if you haven't been checked for GAD antibodies, do so. |
I get drawn for the GAD and cpeptide tests on Wednesday. As for the bg it makes absolutely no sense. Here is an example of my problem
9 AM 303 (FBG) Low carb meal oatmeal beef eggs, tom juice @ noon
Went shopping walked around all afternoon
5:PM 309 BG 5 hours after meal
7PM Dinner Salad Chicken pasta all in proper portions (maybe a little extra chicken)
9PM Lantus 14units
10 PM BG 289
Nothing to eat after 7 (Nothing!)
1AM BG 396
8AM BG 353
9:40 AM 315
I just ate breakfast Oatmeal, small apple, yogurt smoothie coffee no sugar.
Confused about the increase at night with no food.
anyone?
