Confused! Low at night high in morning?!?
Hi all,
Okay so I’m really confused and frustrated!!
Last night my sugar at bedtime about 4-5 hours after dinner was 6.0. I was super happy because then fasting would be lower too!! I do intermittent fasting and it’s been helping a lot! However, when I checked after 17 hrs of fasting, it was 7.2!!! Why was it higher?!?! On days that my bedtime sugar is higher like 7.5, then my fasting sugar is within range of 6-7. What does this even mean? I thought the goal was to have low bedtime sugars and fasting! What am I doing wrong??
I wake up earlier and chekc my fasting before meals. What could be going on!!???
Hi
. Have you talked with your doctor about your flucuating levels? It sounds like you might be experiencing the dawn phenomenon. Here is an article that explains it and offers some potential solutions: https://type2diabetes.com/living/waking-up-high-blood-sugar. I hope this helps and that you will experience this less frequently over time. Best wishes. Lori (Team Member)
