During the night ... How does glucose vary?

Hello,

During the night the organism at rest consumes glucose in blood.How much?

I calculate that they are 150 approx.

I put insulin delay once in the morning and I have to go to bed with 250 approx so that a hypoglycemia will not surprise me before breakfast.

Please tell me your experience.

Thank you!!!

It seems a bit extreme what you do.I don't know if you have type 1 or 2 diabetes, but I think you should rethink the amount of basal (slow insulin) that you put on / and tb the amount of carbohydrates that dinner at night.Talk to your endocrine.
I put the basal at night and I try to bed about 110. I do sports every day and I don't have hypos at night.That if I had to adjust the basal down to 5 or 6 units that I get now.
As each of us are very different, try what is best for you, but it does not seem a very good idea / practice daily to bed so high at night.

all the best

Puff, I think your basal is very high for your needs.How are you between hours for the day?

I put it at night at 22:00, I go to bed with 90-110 and get up at 90-110 at 6-7 hours, I don't sleep much more.Sometimes I get higher because of the cheese fat.

It seems to me too basal.There must be another way not to have to climb at 250 mg/dl.

I also put the slow one at dinner, and if my glycemia = 140 mg/dl before bed me came to breakfast.With less than 130 mg/dl I take 1 ration of HC to avoid declines.

If you get so much at night it is because you have the dose of slow
Do you get fast at meals?

Hello Regina.The truth is that I am at the time of changing, but for the moment I put 40 from Avasaglar and I do not use instantaneous

Perhaps it would be good to change the basal injection time at night and see how you arrive in the morning.
Try to adjust the dose well until you can achieve optimal values.
It cost me enough days until adapting the dose of Tresiba, because with Lantus I wore more units

Thanks Vanessa, I'll ask

Only basal based is very difficult to control blood glucose and very rigid in carbohydrates in meals and hours.
Tell your doctor to prescribe quick insulin for meals, you will get better control and more autonomy

Jolin that good that you are all, at night before dinner I will be at 150, I put 40 units and in the morning I get up with 130/150 currently, my insulin is Novomix 30 (at night), greetings

I have been improving since I put the post.With three slow ones (in the morning) with 120 I have managed not to act during the night, going down and getting up with similar figures.BRAVO!For me.Fast Fiasp use at each meal, trying to measure hydrates by rations and avoid peaks.Thank you all for your valuable experiences.A hug <3
