Elevated FBS question

Can anyone explain to me why I can go to bed with 130 and wake up with 238? It doesn’t make sense. What do I do to bring down the morning sugars? I am Type 2 and take Glucovance 2.5/500 and Actos 45 in the morning and two of the Glucovance at night. Thanks for any suggestions.

Sarah-

It sounds like you have been experiencing the Dawn Phenomenon! We have all experienced it and I am still battling it! I am on a pump…I have to adjust my insulin every few days until I find the right basal rate for 4-6 am, that’s usually when DAWN P happens.

Another factor could be your Aunt Dottie (monthly) visiting or an infection.

Thanks Cherise. I do have an abdominal infection right now and am on Keflex. I had cancer and chemo, so no more Aunt Dottie, lol. Maybe one the oinfection clears, the numbers will level off. I just wonder why it happens while I sleep but no during the day.
