For me, for an unknown reason, my sugar just starts to climb overnight. It wasn't always this way, in the past year this sugar rise started to happen despite drinking rum or vodka or rye (zero carbs). The rise doesn't happen right away, it happens a few hours later so this is what I can't figure out. Even beer has this effect overnight on my sugar, even though my sugar is fine as I take the proper amount of insulin for the carbs in beer.
I started to compensate by taking more insulin overnight, which worked well, until one night last week when I woke up paralyzed due to a severe low. My body (and blood sugar) just seems to react unpredictably lately...I know, I know....quit drinking! Long story, stressed with job etc.
