Any more info that you can give me would be much appreciated, as I have been very concerned and confused as to why my sugars are so much higher in the morning after fasting. Thanks, Cindy
While you sleep your liver produces glucose to keep your bg from going to low. About an Hour before your normal time for waking your liver produce alarger amount of glucose to prepare you for the day in a normal person this is perfectly fine in someone with diabetes it makes our blood sugar higher type -1 can control thourgh basal insulin where as type-2 have to use the force or some other type of mind games to convince the liver not to drup to much glucose. That is why you should never go to sleep with your bg to low. I take 4mg of amaryl and I eat a snack before bedand if my bg is not high enough I eat a hand ful of nuts(cocktail of cashew).
