I’m usually in good control during the morning, always eat the same breakfast and bouls the same amount. I got my pump about three weeks ago. Today I got up earlier cause I had an early appointment. I got up, had breakfast, bolused for 75 gr (Blood sugar was 100) and then the appointment was canceled.
So I decided to go back to sleep. Woke up 2 hours after eating … Blood sugar; 233 !!
I’m guessing that my metabolism slows down a lot while sleeping. my basal rate at night is pretty low, 0.2 units per hour is enough for me, if I go to bed around 120 I wake up around 110 with this basal rate without eating anything before sleep.
Maybe during sleep the insulin is less effective, I don’t know.
Has this ever happened to anyone ? Any ideas ?
Thanks,
Santiago
