Hello everyone,
I have been diabetic for about 10 years.Type 1and I have almost always had the issue quite under control, but now it has been about 2 weeks where, early in the morning around 3:00 in the morning, my sugar suddenly shoots up to 2.5 or 3 mg/dL.After dinner, it goes up correctly and around 11:30 p.m. it starts to go down normally and normally.
I have been researching on the Internet (dawn phenomenon,etc..) but no solution is working for me: delay the slow insulin for an hour (instead of 10:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.), increase the rapid insulin at dinner, eat less dinner, etc...
Has it happened to you?What do you recommend I do?while I get my endocrinologist to give me an appointment?
Greetings and thank you very much in advance.

If I were you, I would slow down to see if you can lower those nighttime blood glucose levels.
Remember that slow insulin remains active for many hours (Toujeo insulin lasts up to 36 hours).Therefore, increase the dose you have scheduled very carefully and wait two or three to continue making changes.
The most important thing is to wake up in the morning with good numbers.

I take rapid insulin and continue sleeping.
It happens to me almost every night at dinner that I have slow digestion.

Hi.
It also happens to me sometimes even though I've tried everything. Solution? How do I know that my rapid ends at 2 in the morning (I put it on at 9 p.m.) and I get up to the bathroom around three like clockwork, if I'm between 100-140 I don't shake it but if later it goes up to more than 150 I put one unit and 170-180 two units and I get up fine but it's a matter of trying becauseSometimes I don't have any highs and I spend the night well. And each body is a story. As for the endocrine, here in Galicia they discharged me and they took me to the bedside.Oh Lord, Lord!!

I also tend to be on the night team.Rare is the night that I don't have to put on some unit.

My problem is that it has been happening to me, as my friend says, for a week now and it doesn't even drop quickly, it drops from 260 to 200, I correct myself, it's still at 210, I correct myself, and so on, without sleeping well at night, and working, a little exhausted.Insulin looks like water.
